If you try to nominate someone to speak on behalf of any group of people, then some opinions are going to get ignored or outvoted. And there's nothing stopping someone from going off on their own to do what they think is best. If you can't get people to agree on what to put on a pizza, how are you gonna get a group of seventy people to agree on what to ask an Empress?
And let's not forget that the last time outworlders happened, there were terror attacks in Sen Riqeaux. They're gonna be on guard and they're definitely not gonna trust us. How would you react if your country had its yearly holiday, world leaders showed up, and then a bunch of weirdos came with them, just like when the Empire closed its doors? Can you imagine how many alarm bells would go off if we all went off to some room together to secretly discuss plans? They might even be monitoring our Mognet connections once we're there.
I trust this even less than you do, but it's a holiday. With world leaders. Maybe we should treat it like one, even if we think it's gonna get dicey?
