The great hall within the Artifact Refining Sect was filled with people.
Almost everyone of status within the Sect was present here.
However, at this moment, the Sect was divided into two factions.
"The final deadline is approaching, Great Elder, do you really want to watch thousands of lives within our Sect die tragically?" an Elder of Battle Saint level said excitedly.
Clearly, he advocated surrendering to the Imperial Family.
He didn't think the entire Sect should perish for a nominal Sect Master.
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder furrowed his brows tightly.
In fact, he was also torn.
On one side was the Sect Master, and on the other were the thousands of lives within the Sect.
To surrender would undoubtedly be a betrayal of the Sect Master.
But to not surrender could very likely mean the annihilation of their Sect.
