The Great Elder was speechless, as the Second Elder's words had already garnered much agreement from many people in the great hall. To speak further would make him seem out of place.
The only Elder who hadn't spoken or echoed agreement was the Fourth Elder. The Jing Family had a total of four Elders, and the Fourth Elder was the only one who remained silent, while the Third Elder agreed with the Second Elder's words.
"Fourth Elder, should we choose to agree?" a strong figure from the Fourth Elder's side inquired.
The Jing Family is also factionalized, with each of the four Elders having their own followers, and many strong figures from the Jing Family aligning themselves behind each of the Elders.
All four Elders had their own thoughts, but they all prioritized the interests of the Jing Family. Whether the Elders were in agreement or not didn't matter.
The only side that remained silent was that of the Fourth Elder.
