The group still went back to the cave after the incident. That's because Zeke erased the whole presence of the area and destroyed the tracker. He explained everything to the elites who also had thoughts that there was a spy among them.
"Sorry. My bad. Tee hee." He said, trying to look cute but the elites just wanted to massacre him at that exact moment.
Aside from this, Zeke already began covering the whole continent with his mana and, this takes a whole day in order to accomplish. But that's fine because they also needed this much time to rest and to recover before finally executing the plan. Zeke himself didn't need to rest because, he would just stay within the cave while they fought after all. And, he already found a way to maintain the barrier even though he didn't focus but, the explanation for that would be left for later.
