"It is not common for sects to close their mountain gates within the sectarian realm, because once closed, it means isolation from the world. All the resources and territories established before will become ownerless."
"There are two ways to preserve territories and resources."
"One is to entrust them to friendly sects with whom alliances have been established, allowing others to manage on their behalf. However, this method is risky. If there is a sufficient amount of interest, there are no binding alliances. It might end up being taken over."
"The second is to hand them over to the Sect Alliance for management. This is the most appropriate way. However, all the spiritual vein and spiritual field outputs during the closed years have to be given to the Sect Alliance. At the same time, a huge management fee needs to be paid."
"Unless it is a last resort, no sect will close their mountain gate."
