Chapter 15867 Agree
The meeting room of the Fire God Sect was actually very simple. It was an empty room with some futons. Zhu Huoshan sat in the main seat, and on his sides sat some kingdom-level experts of the Fire God Sect, as well as the branch hall masters of the Fire God Sect.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhu Huoshan explained the situation to them. He then glanced at everyone and said, "The problem now is, I don't know if what the people from Prajna Temple said is true or false. If it is true, should we send troops? Let's all discuss it."

Upon hearing his words, everyone began to discuss the matter. After a short while, a branch hall master spoke up: "Sect Master, let me share my thoughts. I believe what the people from Prajna Temple said might be true."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Huoshan nodded and said, "Reason."

The branch hall master spoke up: "Because they didn't just approach us, they also approached people from several other realms. Moreover, this time they didn't want us to send too many troops. Even if all the people we sent this time died at the Gates of Hell, it wouldn't be a serious loss for us. But they would have to face a joint attack from several of our realms. They wouldn't do something so foolish. So I think this matter is very likely true."

Everyone nodded in agreement with his words, finding the elder's words to be quite reasonable. Zhu Huoshan also nodded and then said, "We can't immediately agree to join forces with them. Even if we did agree, discussing how to deploy the troops would take a long time. We'll meet the people from the other domains then. If we do meet them, it means this is true; if we don't, it means it's false. If it's false, we can simply withdraw. If it's true, then this is indeed an opportunity for us. If we can take over the Hell Gate Domain and the Nine Yang Immortal Palace Domain in one fell swoop, the benefits we can gain will be immense, and our sect will further develop and grow stronger."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhu Huoshan then spoke up, "If no one has any objections, then I'd like to share my thoughts. We agree to join forces with Prajna Temple to deal with Hell Gate, but we need to discuss the specific timing and number of troops to be deployed. Furthermore, we need to propose that we consult with the other realms as well. If they agree, then we will agree to join forces with them. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded. Zhu Huoshan held a high position of prestige within the Fire God Sect, and his own strength was considerable. Therefore, the people of the Fire God Sect took Zhu Huoshan's words very seriously, and under normal circumstances, no one would object to his decisions.

At this moment, a Supreme Elder spoke up: "Then why don't we prepare for the deployment of troops? Of course, this time it's impossible for us to be the only ones to send troops. We must also get the other sects in the region to join us. Although this will give those sects some benefits, it will also share the risks. We can't let our sect's defenses become too weak, otherwise, we might be attacked."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhu Huoshan nodded and said, "That's right. Well then, let's prepare for the deployment of troops. Zheng Heng, bring Yuanming to see me tomorrow. I need to have a detailed discussion with him about this matter. By the way, Zheng Heng, you've met with Yuanming twice now. Tell me, is there anything untrue in what he told you?"

Zheng Heng thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Yes, I think what he said before, that the sects at Hell's Gate took the initiative to approach them and asked them to send troops to help them deal with Hell's Gate, might be false. If they had been eyeing Hell's Gate for a long time, the sects he mentioned that approached them might have been people they had recruited from Hell's Gate. He might not have told the truth about that."

Everyone nodded, and Zheng Heng continued, "Also, regarding their failed operation last time, he was so certain that the Hell Gate's army was still at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. That means that when they attacked the Hell Gate last time, the Hell Gate's army might not have been in their sect. Their army never returned. Under these circumstances, their attack still failed. That means that the Hell Gate's strength is even stronger than he said. We must also pay attention to this. As far as I can think of, these are the two inaccuracies in his words."

Zhu Huoshan nodded and said, "These are all minor matters. As long as their attack on Hell's Gate is true, then there's no problem. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was true. If the attack on Hell's Gate was real, then everything else was trivial. As long as they were really attacking Hell's Gate, that was enough.

Zhu Huoshan glanced at everyone and then said, "For many years, we've been looking for an opportunity to expand outwards. However, expanding in this region isn't easy. The sects below are also considering uniting to resist us. I think this event presents an opportunity to break the current balance, to entice those sects, and then use this opportunity to weaken their strength. Even if this attempt fails, we can still expand outwards." Everyone nodded. Under Zhu Huoshan's leadership, the Fire God Sect had made rapid progress in strength over the years. However, their increased strength had also created a sense of crisis among the other sects in the Fire God Domain. Although they hadn't formed an alliance yet, they were slowly showing signs of uniting. If the Fire God Sect put too much pressure on them, they would definitely unite, which would only make things more complicated. Therefore, for Zhu Huoshan, this event was indeed an opportunity.

At this moment, another elder spoke up: "Sect Leader, I think we can make use of the people from Prajna Temple. Tomorrow, we'll send letters to the other sects, asking them to come here and meet Yuanming. It would be best if Yuanming could explain this matter to them, so they'll believe us and not think we're trying to trick them. Moreover, I think they'll be unable to resist such temptation and will definitely participate in this operation. This is much easier for them to accept than simply informing them of the matter. What do you think, Sect Leader?"

Zhu Huoshan's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is a good idea. It's definitely better to have Yuanming tell them than to tell us. They'll be more likely to believe it. Also, when we meet with people from other domains in the future, it's best to bring people from those sects with us, so they can believe that this isn't a scheme we set up to deal with them. As long as they believe that this isn't a scheme we set up, then we can use this opportunity to deal with them."

Everyone nodded. Zhu Huoshan then turned to look at the kingdom-level experts and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Elders, if you agree, then we will do it."

All the elders nodded. Although they held high positions in the sect, the sect leader was Zhu Huoshan, and Zhu Huoshan's decision was perfectly reasonable, so they naturally wouldn't object.

Once Zhu Huoshan saw that everyone agreed, he immediately said, "Good, it's good that everyone agrees. Then it's settled. Everyone, please go back. Zheng Heng, after you go back, you need to inform the people from the other sects to come here. Also, tell Yuanming to come see me tomorrow."

Zheng Heng responded, and then they adjourned the meeting. After the meeting, Zheng Heng got busy. He first sent letters to the various sects in the Fire God Domain, and then he sent someone to invite Yuanming to his study again.

When Yuanming arrived at Zheng Heng's study, Zheng Heng invited him to sit down before speaking, "Master Yuanming, I have already spoken to our sect leader about your proposal. Our sect leader said that I should take you to see him tomorrow. I hope you will prepare well."

Yuanming was overjoyed. He knew very well that Zhu Huoshan's willingness to see him meant that the matter was half settled, and he was naturally very happy. So he immediately replied, "Please rest assured, Hall Master Zheng, this humble monk will make the preparations well."

Zheng Heng nodded and continued, "In my opinion, the sect leader might agree to what you said, but there is still one thing that needs to be resolved, which is the matter of the other sects. This time, we can't just send troops by ourselves. Other sects in the Fire God Domain will definitely send troops as well. I have already sent letters to the people of the other sects, asking them to come to our sect. We will also ask the master to meet with them to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Upon hearing Zheng Heng's words, Yuanming immediately understood his meaning. At the same time, he also gained a new assessment of the Fire God Sect's strength. It seemed that the Fire God Sect's strength was inferior to that of their Prajna Temple. Otherwise, they wouldn't need to care about the opinions of those sects and could simply issue orders directly. The fact that they asked him to help prove it meant that if the Fire God Sect directly issued orders to those sects, those sects might doubt it or even disobey. Such a situation would absolutely not occur in the Prajna Temple domain.

Zheng Heng was unaware that his words had revealed so much. He was relieved when he saw that Yuanming agreed, and then he said, "Alright, I won't bother you any longer, Master. After you go back, please prepare well and discuss this matter with our sect leader tomorrow. I believe our sect leader will agree, and I hope that our cooperation this time will be successful."

Yuanming stood up, bowed to Zheng Heng, and said, "Please rest assured, Hall Master Zheng, this humble monk will definitely persuade your sect leader. I also hope that our cooperation this time will be successful, otherwise I wouldn't have come here. Hall Master Zheng, I will go back first. After I get back, I will prepare well and I will definitely be able to persuade your sect leader tomorrow."
