It's the Second Elder's eagle's palm that's telling the men to run away. The Second Elder tells the men that they're all looking for death. He's not just talking about the martial family, but also about the Great Family. He tells them that the patriarch is a "mysterious level martial artist" who's hiding out in his shell. He doesn't come out yet, so he's just waiting for the "grim reality" of the situation. If the men don't believe him, he'll kill them all first.
