Although Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime both disliked Garaga, the two sides were allies now, and they could not just watch Garaga be badly wounded by Qian.
Low morale was a minor issue. After all, they had lived for hundreds of years; they still had that much composure.
The crux of the problem was that they could not afford to lose such a powerful combat partner.
Garaga had yet to display much of his strength. If he was badly wounded here, or even killed, that would be far too great a loss.
And so, without the slightest hesitation, Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime made their move.

Seeing him chase Garaga down and attack, Tagitsuhime immediately manifested a snake head. Her neck stretched out extremely long, her fangs bared, and she bit toward Qian's neck like lightning.
Clearly, she wanted to seize the opportunity to use her signature senjutsu and bind him in place.
Qian caught sight of her movements from the corner of his eye and secretly weighed whether he should risk injury to keep pressing his attack on Garaga.
As for why it was the risk of injury, not death...
It was simple. He did not believe a single senjutsu from her could kill him.
Leaving everything else aside, just the Mangekyō Sharingan's "Ame no Minaka" was enough to let him break free from many negative states.
Naturally, that included senjutsu—binding!
Moreover, he still had the even more powerful exclusive ability of the Rinnegan, Time Imperial, as his trump card. He did not need to worry about his safety at all.
In fact, even the risk of injury was only the result of him estimating the power and effects of her attack as highly as possible.
The actual situation might be that he would not be injured at all.
