The mutiny was quelled quickly, but the aftermath was not resolved as swiftly.
The remnants of Beishuo's forces needed to be detained; the core members of the Duan Family had to be dealt with; the property of the Duan Family needed to be seized; the resources and industries of Chui Mountain Town and the entire region had to be inventoried; all those involved in the mutiny with the Mu Family, living ones needed rewards, and fallen ones needed compensation...
Of course, the most important task was forming an alliance!
Establishing an alliance treaty cannot be done with mere words.
An alliance is tantamount to a political entity, discussing its purpose; what concrete actions it will take; who will be the Alliance Hierarch; the extent of the Hierarch's powers; which orders the towns must obey, which they may not; and the consequences of ignoring mandatory orders...
There were countless details to be settled!
