Come to think of it, if Chi Xue and the others had decided to attack Ling Tian's group, they would have come in person to take command, even if they worried about heavy casualties and chose not to deploy every cultivator in their alliance.

Since Chi Xue and the others weren't going to act personally, Ling Tian's group didn't need to worry too much. At the very least, with their current strength, they could easily withstand an assault from the four major factions.
