Of course, what did they have to do with these three powerful sects? The cat-kin knew about them as they had done trades and traveled to the Winter Lotus and the Jade Snake Sects in the past, but they had never done much more than that.
The cat-kin was a pacific race of beast-kin that lived on their own territory and didn't bother anyone else. Most of their people were only Rank 1 at Peak Stage at most, while only a few dozen of warriors were at Rank 2, compared to a sect with powerful Rank 3 Elders and several High Elders at Rank 4, they were nothing at all.
And due to their status as "nothing to worry about" the other sects had mostly ignored their existence as the cat-kin were of no real value to them, although there had been some talented youngsters that ended joining either of the two in the past years, and this was also a reason why this talented cat-kin had influenced the sects to not attack the pacific cat-kin.
