However, the family heads of the other families had been fooled by the words of the head of the Zhe family, saying that the territory they had won would belong to them. They hadn't thought of this.

In fact, everything the head of the Zhe family had said was just to please these family heads. If the sacred Institute really wanted to control the city-state and fight against the anti-sacred Institute Alliance, it would be equivalent to fighting for hegemony. How could they agree to give them the territory they had won? even if the people of the sacred Institute agreed, they could only say that this was just a delaying tactic. When they defeated the anti-sacred Institute Alliance, they would turn around and deal with them directly. At that time, they would only be in more trouble.
