I'm kind of surprised to see you going for the lulzy choice Esquilax. You're usually one of the more level headed people around here. Yes, A will make it a hard choice for BJ, which is what makes it so appealing. He's already admitted to us and Song Lingshu that this whole situation is wrong. If he keeps his word, then it weakens his personal image and indirectly damages Nie and Huashan's efforts toward an orthodoxy under their thumb. If BJ backs out at the last second, it will be a cowardly act that we can throw in his face in the future.
“You will have to gather the support of the sect to stand against Mao Sanjiao.”
You nod, and say, “You will be helping out with that, I presume?” Bai Jiutian looks aghast at the idea, as if it is utterly stupid. “Of course not. If I interfere openly with an internal matter of Qingcheng, it would look like Huashan has something to do with it!” Song Lingshu ponders the proposal for a while, scratching her head in an unmaidenly manner. “Look, I don’t think it is going to work out that easily. I just feel like Uncle Mao will try whatever he can to stay on top. They're not going to listen to my words that easily.”
C is basically Theseus'ing ourself. Everyone has an easy scapegoat and the only one who comes out looking bad is us. Mao will lose some face, but everyone's scorn will be saved for a certain Man Tiger Pig. Maybe it's enough to eventually cause Mao to lose control of Qingcheng, maybe not, but it will do very little to change the overall Douchebag Generation-led Eight Sects vs. Fire Cult situation. If anything, it will solidify Huashan's control by possibly eliminating another power-hungry rival.
Damn, you just had to go and remind them.

Oh man, Kz3r0 just saved our fucking asses.

That's just it though, who would believe us? Bai Jiutian could just say that we never had any such conversation and that Man Tiger Pig is just making shit up. It'll be his word against ours, and in this place, his word counts for a whole lot more. You might say, "So what? Song Lingshu will back us up if BJ says we never talked":
It's only BJ that matters. We can fuck with his head using our trolling skills, because he knows he was a coward and that's all we might need for an edge in the future.
Well, it still serves as a good distraction if timed right. You'll nail at least 90% of the guests easily.

When was he a coward? What are you referring to? If you're talking about our encounter back at Heihu Valley, Bai Jiutian was about to kick Jing's ass before the Sword Saint stepped in. I don't like BJ at all, but I'm not sure if I'd call him a pussy.

True masters will individuate anything strange in their food almost immediately.Can we avoid poisoning the Emei, Wudang, Shaolin reps and BJ? Or is it everyone we're going after?
Actually, now that I've had time to think about it, none the real masters are here apart from the Abbess. With that in mind, we'll be facing "masters" of the lesser schools. Probably just a handful, but we should actually be at or beyond their level of power. Their skill should range from 7-8 at most. I doubt the Abbess will attack us. Granted, I doubt we'll be able to stand up to all of them at once - it's possible, but we might be injured, Still, we should be able to get away from them, especially with the distraction of the laxatives.However, this rules out the success of C, really:
Uh, no we can't throw it in his face in the future. How? Are we going to publicily accuse BJ that he was going to support us but pulled out? Who is that meant to impress? Or are we going to say that to BJ himself? Again, no, BJ loses nothing by turning back on his implicit promise of support (he never promised to go fully through with whateve rwe plan).
