"Yes, Young Master."
An elder respectfully bowed his head.
Although the Sect Leader gave clear orders before leaving, allowing the Second Young Master to temporarily exercise the Sect Leader's authority and manage all internal and external affairs of the sect, the forces within the sect were so numerous that the Second Young Master's orders could not be effectively communicated.
It was possible to spread them within the sect, but once outside the Celestial Demon Sect, the elders and leaders would not heed his commands, especially with eight brothers contending both openly and covertly, making the Second Young Master's position unstable.
To stabilize his position, he must gain the support of the Five Great Saint Sons and the Seven Great Venerables.
Currently, among the Seven Great Venerables, four are openly supporting him.
But among the Five Great Saint Sons, the loyalty is varied, making it difficult for him to predict.
