Although they suspected—and were even certain—that Chi Xue and Po Tian were behind the disappearances of their disciples, the major sects had no direct evidence. And with Xiao Shi about to emerge from seclusion, they didn't want a large-scale conflict, so they had kept their anger tightly in check and only made moves in secret.

The signature techniques of the nine superpowers would be exposed, and some of the larger sects might even threaten the nine superpowers' standing once they acquired them. The nine superpowers would surely move to suppress them, and a large-scale conflict could well erupt.

But regardless of who won, both sides would suffer heavy casualties. That would leave Ling Tian and the others with far fewer powerful foes to deal with later, and ease the pressure on them considerably.
As for obtaining signature techniques from other sects, that would be child's play for Fengyun Pavilion's Quasi-Sage experts. Even if a Quasi-Sage expert were guarding a sect, it would still be easy—especially since most of the Quasi-Sage experts were currently at Soul Severing Cliff.
