After a moment of silence, the leader slowly nodded her head and said, "I'll bring it up with the other leaders. It'll probably take a few days to receive an answer."
"We can wait."
The leader retrieved a communication jade slip from her spatial ring and began sending messages, notifying each and every leader of the Ten Royal Phoenix Clans about the situation.
She had expected it would take several days for them to reply, but to her surprise, many of the leaders responded within mere minutes.
"Six of the other nine clans have responded and agreed to attend the meeting. However, three have refused," she informed Yuan.
"Who refused?" Yuan asked.
"The Crimson Rebirth Phoenix Clan, Immortal Ember Phoenix Clan, and the Imperial Vermilion Phoenix Clan. They're ranked 8th, 4th, and 1st in the Royal Clans," she explained. "So, do you still want to have this gathering?"
