Taishang's relationship with Hongjun was much the same as that of the other Saints. He had once listened to the Dao in the Purple Heaven Palace, and whenever something major happened in the Primordial World, Hongjun would summon them to discuss it. That was all.
As for persuading Hongjun to take action against Lin Tian now, Taishang had no confidence whatsoever.
But whatever the case, he had to calm Yuanshi down before worrying about anything else. If Yuanshi destroyed the Primordial World, Taishang would suffer tremendous losses, even though Xuandu was his only disciple.

Then Yuanshi discovered just how wretched their situation was!
Although the Chan Sect had never had as many members as the Spirit Vine Sect, its numbers had hardly been small.
