Ran Deng Buddha himself declared they should attack.
As for the others, it went without saying; they were all clamoring to fight and kill.
"Buddhism's reputation cannot be tarnished. The Arhat Hall has suffered heavy losses, and this must be avenged."
"Sha Chen is merely a pawn of Buddhism, yet he has had the audacity to turn the tables on us, committing a grave and terrible sin."
"Indeed, we must take down Sha Chen; otherwise, we will have lost all face."
Most of Buddhism's disciples supported Ran Deng Buddha's proposal to use force against Sha Chen.
Tathagata remained silent throughout.
He then looked towards Maitreya Buddha, whose eyes roamed restlessly, and said, "Venerable Maitreya, what is your take on this matter?"
Maitreya Buddha, who had just been stripped of his power, hadn't expected Tathagata to ask for his opinion again.
