They were reminded and then one by one started to kneel down.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound as a swath of people knelt down.
The Imperial Eunuch with Decree scanned the surroundings and, seeing no one else standing except his procession representing His Majesty to deliver the decree, was satisfied.
