Tianzhu Zhenren nodded and then asked, "Is the Sect Leader going alone? Or will there be people to hold the line?"
The so-called "holding the line" means that several first seats would accompany Taichu Zhenren.
"No need. This isn't a negotiation, but cooperation, so there's no need for people to hold the line. Besides, not all sect leaders are going, only most of them!"
Upon hearing this, the first seats all nodded. They understood what Taichu Zhenren meant. The "most" referred to sects that weren't too small and had quite a few disciples. Such sects would naturally have some strength, so they would go, while the smaller sects, which had no say, were not qualified to go. Once the outcome was decided, they would just follow orders.
"After I leave, prepare yourselves. We will gather all our forces at any moment and attack their stronghold," Taichu Zhenren said.
The first seats also nodded, indicating they would select the disciples to go as soon as they returned!
