The people did not understand what was going on, but Shi Lang did, and said telepathically, "If any one of you have a single inkling of exploiting this alliance, leave, or you will die before you know it."
The message was conveyed to the Terrans only, but while the executives were shocked, they did not leave. The people in this ceremony were the most influential and the strongest. They all wished to grow stronger and knew what they need to do for that. Thus, none of them left the place.
Shi Lang only hoped that when the summoning was complete, these people can survive. The same message was being sent to the spirit beasts by Moon Baley. She knew what the summoned sword could do.
