All they did was say there were traitors in their midst and while that might have been true, it was far from being enough to cause all this chaos, unless...
...unless they had been completely truthful from the start and their arrival had really been the signal.
If so, then the traitors were obvious, it had to be the first two to engage in an altercation because their argument was what started the domino effect.
