One group, those answering questions alongside Sun Jiaxiang, were all strenuously explaining the plan Du Heng had just proposed.
The other group, much like the representatives from the various departments, were complete bystanders, merely observing from the sidelines.
They didn't ask questions, nor did they assist Sun Jiaxiang with answers; they simply watched.
How could Du Heng distinguish them from the people from the relevant departments?
For one, they occupied two distinct seating areas. For another, their temperaments differed. One group exuded a scholar-like demeanor, gentle and refined. In contrast, the people from the relevant departments were different: the older ones possessed a commanding presence, somewhat haughty yet also affable, while the younger ones brimmed with vigor.
So, it wasn't difficult to discern their identities.
