After Helian Duzun finished speaking, no one made a decision at once.
Their gazes, to varying degrees, turned toward Qin Jishi.
The strength Heaven Annihilation Pavilion had displayed was indeed formidable. To put it bluntly, it had stirred an involuntary fear in their hearts.

Fear was fear. So long as Qin Jishi made his stance known, they would still support him.
