"That's what we're saying," Elder Yon said with a bitter smile. "But with Elder Guo and the others causing such trouble, it doesn't make things easy for us! If we don't give them any face, the morale of the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion could fall apart and crack."

If it were just one or two people, it would be fine. At worst, we could refuse them using Third Steward, Fourth Steward, Wu Jue, and others' past bullying of Xuanmie Peak as a reason.
The key is, Lian Jue, along with a dozen or so influential and prominent figures of the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, have spoken out.
To ignore them in this manner would shake the foundation of the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion. If mishandled, even such a colossal entity as the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion could face trouble. For major forces, decline often starts from within; unity and a shared purpose are crucial.
