After explaining everything, Pei Xuanjing threw out an approximate figure and let the parties deliberate. They would report back to him once they had reached a decision.
The major forces in the alliance were always on guard against each other, constantly shifting between being allies and enemies. The complexity of their relationships was sometimes so intricate that not even they could make sense of it, let alone Pei Xuanjing.
That's why, after simply demanding that a guaranteed number of Divine Positions be given to the forces that provided him with skill manuals, he washed his hands of how the remaining positions would be divided. That was for them to debate. He would not get involved.
Of course, he did not forget to inform them of his plan to establish a Taoist Academy. Whether or not they were willing to send their experts to serve as instructors, Pei Xuanjing was not overly concerned for now.
