Was there ever a good time to act against an organization which was suspected to host a Dao Lord building a Seat of Power? Apparently, there was. That would be when the specific Dao Lord was, for unknown reasons, absent from within his own realm.
But what was the purpose in attacking such an organisation? Every action needed a sufficient motive, and that was especially true when that action would provoke a strong enemy.
In this case, that purpose was not the acquisition of rare resources, nor was it to occupy the realm. Instead, it was to ensure that the Dao Lord in question would, in the future, be so deeply mired in problems that he would have no time to interfere in other matters.
Such was the competition between Dao Lords. Direct conflict hardly ever occurred. Instead, they would strategically move against each other to occupy them for massive segments of time, effectively removing them from the playing field.
