What he asked for was somewhat reasonable.
The request became even more reasonable when the other elder from the Black Bones sect buttresseed his point by saying, "The techniques can be shared among everyone without any loss, so there should be no problem sharing it with us. If we can't even get the techniques, then we won't let you go."
The only elder from the Beast Training sect joined in the conversation. "The choice is simple. You either share the techniques with us or you fight all of us. Are the techniques, which are things that you can share without loss, worth it to fight everyone?"
The elder from the Sword Way sect said, "We are 40, and you are 3. Please consider your choice carefully."
The supreme elder from the Dyson family sighed and said, "Please count me out of this matter. I'm not willing to fight for the techniques. But I can pay for it if you're willing."
Other elders began talking too. They stated their stance on the matter and formed three groups.
