For everyone to get through to the next floor, as their energy reserves were insufficient, Yelena deployed her energy onto them granting all of them a 5x boost to all their stats. This was enough to carry them to the last floor of this extraordinary tower, the floor everyone wished to reach the 10th floor.
Once inside the 8th floor, which resembled a huge arena, the system sent them all a notification:
[Congratulations on reaching the 8th floor of this tower. For the next challenge you need to choose to fight as a group or as individuals. If you choose to pass this challenge as a group you need to select a leader. Also be aware that your opponent or opponents will be chosen based on the number in your group and their strength will be proportional to the strongest among you.]
Since they never considered taking this challenge alone they all chose to do it as a group. Even though Julian didn't want to be the group leader, they all insisted that he take on that role.
