Chen Jian's words were extremely clever. If he claimed to have no interest in the Emperor's Blood, it would be pure hypocrisy. Certainly, everyone under heaven knows the importance of the Emperor's Blood except for those small clans and minor powers. It's no doubt that major powers and large clans like the Chen Family are aware of it.
This is unquestionable.
When the Earth Level Mountain Lord asked, he responded truthfully: expressing interest while hinting subtly that the Chen Family still stands alone, choosing not to participate.
Moreover, he insinuated that the Earth Level Mountain is overly greedy, taking what's not theirs with unpredictable consequences.
Possibly, this could lead to the Emperor Mountain counterattacking and annihilating them. Even if they weren't annihilated, they might be seriously injured.
Putting these aside, why should the Chen Family join?
If they join, who knows who will live and who will die; the victor is uncertain.
