They were still sitting together and discussing their possible future. None of them knew that the answer they were waiting for had already been decided.
Ethan's suggestion had been sent to the four Emperors, and after a brief discussion, they had sent their response.
They were more than happy to oblige with the arrangement.

Having such people under their control was much better than allowing them to become another source of trouble.
They could be used as puppets while the Emperors remained above them.
Ethan had also asked for reinforcements.
