To tell the truth, Tathagata's explanation makes sense.
After all, even a multitude of Quasi-Saints attacking together can't compare to the pressure of four Saints joining forces.
But to discuss Hao Tian and Tongtian together already possesses convincing power.
Which ordinary Quasi-Saint has the qualifications to discuss matters with a Saint?
They don't even have the qualifications to touch the edge of the issue.
Yet now, Hao Tian has gained the qualifications to do just that.
Some Quasi-Saints even feel that Hao Tian has the strength of a Saint.
"We can't let Hao Tian continue to run rampant."
"The cause and effect are set, if Hao Tian becomes a Saint, what position would we be in?"
"Gentlemen, if we continue to hide our capabilities, the only thing waiting for us is Hao Tian's retribution. Who dares to bet on Hao Tian's magnanimity?"
"Who is willing to have another saint position above their heads?"
