This...
Hearing this, the faces of the Sect Leaders from the various sects turned ugly.
After all, a hundred years had passed since this incident. In a hundred years, those with high innate talents could have broken through to the peak of the Golden Immortal Stage or even become a Semi-Sage!
If such a powerful cultivator were to betray them, the impact on their sects would be devastating!
In that moment, the crowd fell silent.
Lin Xiao swept his gaze across them and spoke in a grave tone, "I hope that all the Sect Leaders will not let their guard down. At the same time, please keep this a secret. Otherwise, if word of this gets out and the spies find out about this, the consequences would be unthinkable!"
"We understand!"
The Sect Leaders from the other sects nodded seriously as well.
After all, the threat posed by Operation Hidden Dragon was far too great. If they were not prepared and were to be attacked by the spies, it would cause an immeasurable loss!
When he saw that the Sect Leaders from the other sects had realized the severity of the situation, Lin Xiao nodded and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Alright, I've said all that I wanted to say. You may continue with your discussion!"
"Alright!
Let's discuss the distribution of power in the Ten Sect Alliance!
I believe that this is an alliance and we must have a person in charge. Otherwise, even though we are an alliance in name, we would still be running our own affairs in reality. Then, there would be no need for an alliance to exist! "
"That's right!
We must have a decision-maker who can coordinate the decisions of our alliance! "
"That makes sense. However, the problem is, who would be more suitable to be the leader? I'm afraid that if any of us were to step forward, there would be people who would disagree!"
...
Just as Lin Xiao had spoken, the Sect Leaders from the other sects began to speak up. It goes without saying that the last sentence had hit the nail on the head.
At this moment, even the Sect Leader of the Medicine Sect had fallen silent.
Even though he was quite popular, the Sect Leader of the Medicine Sect knew that if he were to become the leader, he would definitely be opposed by some other sects!
Hence, after this sharp question had been raised, the entire place fell silent.
Just then, someone suddenly asked Lin Xiao, "Sect Leader Lin, what do you think about this matter?"
Lin Xiao, "..."
Why is it him again?
Before this, he had always been like a spectator, listening to the seven Sect Leaders fight each other. But now that he was asked, Lin Xiao didn't want to play dumb.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiao slowly opened his mouth and said, "Actually, I have a rather simple method that everyone can accept!
First of all, I think the same as you. Since we have established an alliance, there must be a restriction on the sects in the alliance. However, if we elect one person to make the decision, there will definitely be people who will not agree. So why don't we let everyone make the decision together? "
"What is the meaning of this, Sect Leader Lin!?"
Someone looked at Lin Xiao in confusion. "Don't we need a decision-maker now?
If everyone makes a decision together, won't we still be unable to make a final decision? At that time, everyone will say that they are right, and everyone will say that they are right. Won't our alliance still be in a state of disunity? "
"Of course not!"
Chuckling lightly, Lin Xiao said, "What I meant by everyone making decisions is the establishment of a central committee.
In this central committee, each of the ten great sects will have a representative. The decisions of our Ten Sect Alliance can be voted on by the directors. The minority obeys the majority. This should be acceptable to everyone. "
"This idea is not bad, but we are the ten great sects. We have a total of ten votes. It is very likely that there will be a situation of five votes against five votes. What should we do at this time?"
Hearing this, someone raised an objection. "Moreover, the strength of our ten great sects is uneven. If we all count according to one vote, I'm afraid some people will have objections."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Lin Xiao could accept the first half of this person's sentence, but Lin Xiao could see that the other party was targeting the three outer sects, especially the Sea Sect and the Sage Sect.
The Sage Sect was slightly better. Although Ning Yue was dead, the successor, Qi Ming, was also a Sage-to-be expert. However, it was different for the Sea Sect's Shang Fenglei. He was only a Peak Almighty Immortal expert. In other sects, he was not even fit to be the Deputy Sect Leader. If he had the same authority as the other Sage-to-be experts, the others would be very unhappy.
In fact, Shang Fenglei himself did not know what to say.
To him, he had never thought that he could become one of the Sect Leaders of the ten great sects. He had never thought that there would be a day when he could be on equal footing with these Sage-to-be experts. He had always been a little fearful. Now that he was questioned by these people, he really did not know how to respond!
"Have all the Sect Leaders forgotten that the name of our alliance is the Ten Sect Alliance?"
At this moment, Lin Xiao stood up and looked at the crowd. His voice was indifferent but sonorous. "If you think that someone is not qualified to make decisions, then don't let them join the Ten Sect Alliance. Just let them join the Nine Sect Alliance, the Eight Sect Alliance, or the Seven Sect Alliance!"
This …
Lin Xiao's words made the crowd fall silent again.
After all, what he meant was that he would advance or retreat together with the Sea Sect and the Sage Sect. They might not care about the Sea Sect and the Sage Sect, but they could not ignore Lin Xiao.
Therefore, for a moment, no one refuted.
At this moment, Lin Xiao looked at them again and continued, "As for the issue of the votes being tied, it's very simple!
If the votes of the representatives of the ten great sects are tied, then let all the Sage-to-be experts in the ten great sects vote again. This way, we can take into account the strength of the sects and there won't be a situation where the votes are tied! "
"I agree!"
At this moment, a voice sounded again. "If we elect a leader, I'm afraid that even if we give you a month, you won't be able to choose a suitable person. This way, at least, is acceptable to all of us!"
The person who spoke was none other than the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect.
Lin Xiao was a little surprised by this. After all, Lin Xiao did not remember that he had much interaction with the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect. In fact, he even had some grudges with the Kong Sect. Lin Xiao could not understand why the Sect Leader of the Kong Sect would support him so strongly. However, no matter what, the Sect Leader had supported him, so he had to be grateful.
In fact, Lin Xiao's suggestion was not selfless. It was for his own sake!
The reason was simple. If they followed Lin Xiao's suggestion to form the Board of Directors, the one who would benefit from it would be Lin Xiao. After all, the Sect Leaders of the Sage Sect and the Sea Sect were under Lin Xiao's control. In other words, in the Ten Sect Alliance, Lin Xiao already had three votes. Lin Xiao was very clear about what this meant.
