The Great Elder led the remaining Wo Country's Ninja in the cave full of giants to block the Church members, preventing them from exiting the cave, thus creating a favorable opportunity for Ye Qing.
The reason the Great Elder did this was because he believed that by controlling Huangfu Ziyu, he essentially controlled Ye Qing, so he didn't think too much about other things.
However, although the Great Elder didn't ponder these matters, his lack of consideration didn't mean others wouldn't. Especially the Seventh Elder, who was also a spy planted by the Wanyan Family among the Wo Country's Ninja. Thus, during the chaotic battle, he actually didn't contribute much, quietly pondering other matters.
