So the meaning is quite clear, the other party also wants to strengthen the bond with an old friend, but this kind of matter isn't something that the older generation can settle with just a couple of words.
This is different from mortal marriages.
A forced marriage chosen by mortals could still result in some kind of union, even if it might not be perfect.

Precisely because of this, cultivators have a slight advantage over mortals – they can choose who they truly like. Like means like, dislike means dislike, cultivation doesn't lie.
