"The Great Demon Sect's Battleship is headed here? Are you sure it's them?" another Elder asked, trying to keep his voice steady despite the rising panic.
Elder Wei nodded. "The scouts have confirmed it. We have little time to prepare. They should be here in a few minutes."
Many Great Elders had hoped that this was going to be a misunderstanding. But when it was confirmed that the Demon Sect was heading for this place, the room erupted into chaos.
The Great Elders began to argue amongst themselves, their voices overlapping with each other. Some suggested immediate surrender, while others demanded to prepare for a fight.
"If we surrender, we might survive! Why fight when we can't win?!"
"Do you think that they will let us live if we surrender?! Did you forget the time when that emotionless Demoness went to eradicate the sects? Those who surrendered were still annihilated!"
"If we surrender, we might die even faster!"
