Alexander felt the expectant gazes of the other leaders, particularly the four main ones pierce him, waiting to see how he would respond.
Luckily, he had his plans mapped out inside his head since yesterday.
But he did not want to reveal military strategy out here, in range of prying ears.
So he gestured, "Let's go to my command tent. Military matters should be discussed in secrecy."
And thus under Alexander's lead, the four main leaders and the two new leaders of the left behind Alcmene and Regias mercenaries were escorted to the same tent Nestoras had once tried to kill Alexander.
The two new mercenary leaders were very weak and had very little prestige among the other five. In fact, they were so weak that they were not been even invited to the election as viable candidates.
These two men, understanding their position thus chose to cleverly shut up and just observe the conference unfold.
"So, to begin, let us take inventory." Alexander took charge.
