It's already given that the banquet ended in a very solemn note.
As experts, they tried to minimize the tension surrounding them. Their efforts were commendable but it didn't really diminish the effect of the news to their psyche. Whether they admit it or not, they are greatly affected by this news.
God knows how much they wanted to deny reality. They wanted to admonish Raven and call him an alarmist for doing this. But then again, he has proof of his claims.
He showed them the sealed ship of the Abyssals as well as the sealed Abyssals as well. Hell, he even invited the Heavenly Law Order's consciousness to descend and talk to everyone. All of those proof were something they cannot deny no matter how much they wanted to.
This is as real as it could get, and it filled them with so much dread that they don't really know what to do. Thankfully though, Raven was prepared for this.
