"First, summon some of the leaders among them and then make unified arrangements to distribute food,"
Colin began attempting to make contact with these refugees, having known beforehand that most refugees tended to form groups, with apparent leaders among them.
If he truly wanted to launch a relief effort, it was best to start with these individuals, persuade them, and then, through them, reach out to the refugees behind them to deliver effective aid.
Otherwise, trying to assist everyone at once would definitely lead to utter chaos.
