Actually, the Gilded Kingdom needed that negotiation more than the forces in the Breezy Plains. That was also the reason they put on a domineering front as soon as they appeared, vehemently refusing to give any concessions, because they knew that once they let up, there would be a chance that their opponents would realize the situation that they were in.
