Hmmm....
Okay, so we have the sect heads and the Saint fighting the Temple Lord while the "armies" look on. The Cult has Quilin but they have orders not to kill her...
Alright with A we are pushing for a direct and glorious victory and it may just be possible that if everyone dogpiles the Temple Lord that we can in fact drop him but there really is nothing keeping his lieutenants from interfering except his orders. I can't see them standing back and waiting if it looks like he could die and I am not sure we could take him and his three lap dogs... We would have to play quick and dirty and hope we take his head off before something terrible happens. Additionally Quilin could die when the Cult unravels...
I just don't like B, we know where the Temple Lord stands now and that is right in our way. We go through him or around him but I see little point in playing his servant. Ideally we kill the man, here or some time in the future.
Of the C options I prefer C2 to C1. If we are going to leave the fight we may as well take the lesser fighters with us. It would reduce the chance of our side winning the big fight but it may not matter in the end and we could definitely use the help if we attack the Cult forces. If we do not go with A then our concern has to be our success not theirs. There is the concern that if we attack the man holding Quilin that we might get her killed. I do not think it is likely that they will purposely kill her but the chance of her being killed by accident is a definite possibility. Also the Fire Lord is very fast it seems, if he beats his opponents before we beat ours well we are dead I guess.
Now this may sound a bit cold but I don't think we can let worrying about Quilin impact our final decision. The only way to ensure that she is safe is to help the Cult win and let them take her but that is less than ideal. What we can do though is help ensure that the Cult loses this battle. At the moment the only thing holding back the overwhelming numbers of the Sects is Quilin as a hostage.
If we go with C2 then one way or another she will no longer be a hostage. If we free her we can then try and grab Yunzi and get the hell out of there before things spiral out of control.
If we fail and she dies... well then they no longer have a hostage and the Sects can attack and overwhelm them. We may even be able to use the chaos to get some revenge.
So A promises quick victory but with the downsides of endangering Quilin and possibly suffering from Cult intervention and of course we may all die.
B would keep Quilin safe but we would be reducing ourselves to the Temple Lord's lackey and seriously fuck that guy...
C would remove the Cult's hostage and put us up against enemies that are closer to our own power level. But it also endangers Quilin's life and again we may get ourselves or someone else killed.
Endangering Quilin's life seems to be a constant between A and C so we may as well put it to one side, we will probably get her killed either way... may as well try to crush the Cult while we are here.
No option is a sure thing but C2 seems the most likely to succeed so...
