The Elders reacted the same way the Family head did when they heard that this is the chance that their curse could be broken.
For generations, the Merene family only has one goal. It is not to survive, not to increase their influence, and not to become a superpower, their only goal is to get rid of the curse that has thrown them into such a state.
Gandharvas are a pure race and they are the direct subordinates of the Hindu Gods, they are extremely devoted to the point that they would feel honored for dying in the hands of the gods or die for the gods they worship so dearly.
And the worse punishment than death is being ignored and abandoned by their gods. So, as long as their curse lifted and one family member of the Merene family survived, they would be happy even if they have to sacrifice everything else.
Even if they die, they are satisfied with the point that they would be regarded as the curse breakers of their family for the generations to come.
