As for whether the five forces would fight amongst themselves first to determine a victor, who would then claim everything Yang Xiao owned, or if the five forces would work together sincerely to take down Yang Xiao and then divide all he owned equally, they first needed to come to a consensus.
And to reach this consensus, they certainly had to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each force.
