“I do. Kind of. If all the top villains of the city attend and we don’t, are we really doing ourselves any favors?
Only if all the other top villains get brutally attacked, and I’m fairly confident that won’t happen.
Our rep will take a nosedive, we’ll be out of the loop, and there’s nothing saying we wouldn’t be targeted by the Nine all the same if we sit it out.”

Oh, looks like I got mixed up with regard to who was speaking which lines for a moment. Taylor’s probably got one more reason to want to do it, namely that Coil said so and she knows he’s probably split the timeline and told another version of them to not go.
