Decision.

Shi Lang said straight out what he thought about recruiting students from his class. The general council was taken aback and stunned; they had not expected the young man to have thought of anything beforehand. 

One of the generals asked in a calm tone, "Sir, what do you mean by the guardian division?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I did not plan to hide from you all, but was only waiting to confirm a conjecture of mine before bringing this topic up for an official discussion." 

The others nodded; they could tell that Shi Lang was sincere and not lying to them. The young man also did not wish to see these guys rebel against him, so he gestured for them all to sit down. Earlier, the discussion was so heated that they were all standing on their feet.
