"If I personally went to Chang'an and handed the cassock and monk's staff to Golden Cicada, it would be a declaration of my stance—that I fully supported Golden Cicada. Tathagata Buddha did not want that to happen, because the repercussions would be significant."

Tathagata Buddha had done this because he did not want Guanyin Bodhisattva to make her stance too conspicuous. Otherwise, it might cause a split within the Buddhist Sect. After all, Guanyin Bodhisattva held considerable influence in the Buddhist Sect.
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva supported Golden Cicada's actions, she did not want the Buddhist Sect to become divided. That would not be good for the Buddhist Sect and would affect its development.
