Bai Zongqi sat at the head of the grand circular chamber, his expression composed yet firm. He surveyed those seated in their respective positions, gave a brief nod, and then spoke in a measured tone.
"Now, let us discuss the promise we have made to the Void Fleet. What, and how much, should we disclose about them? We are not to mention our emerging alliance, as it has yet to be fully organized and set into motion. There are still many concessions to be met—by both us and the Void Fleet. For now, let us focus on them."
He then turned his gaze to his advisor, Yao Shen, who immediately understood his intent. Rising from his seat, Yao Shen spoke with a calm yet authoritative tone.
"The emergence of the Void Fleet has changed the strategic landscape," he said. "They made their initial stance clear to us during the virtual summit we had not too long ago, and their details are known to everyone present here."
