Jiang Chengxuan began the meeting with a direct and solemn tone, breaking the silence in the grand hall.
The first item on the agenda was rewarding the elders and disciples for their contributions during the sect's recent tribulations.
Though defending the sect was their duty, Jiang Chengxuan believed that their efforts and sacrifices deserved recognition. Even the allied sects that came to their aid had been rewarded with substantial resources from Central State. To neglect rewarding his own disciples and elders would only foster resentment.
"We owe our current achievements entirely to the grace of the Patriarch. We shall never forget this!"
"We swear to defend the sect to our deaths. Even if we fall, it will be the noblest end we could hope for!"
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan's praise, the elders were overwhelmed, their faces glowing with excitement.
