They thought that Reinfield City was too dangerous to covet, so they began to entertain the idea of leaving it alone and choosing another target.
Not all the clones agreed to do this, though. Their main reason for disagreeing was that they knew Reinfield very well and didn't want to go to another city and start investigating all over again.
At the very least, the clones that disagreed with this proposal wanted to see if there was anything they could do to make the uncertain situation become certain first before they gave up.
The idea they came up with was to do something that would force the appearance of the demigod if she really is in Reinfield City at this time. But they also didn't want her to appear and target them, so they didn't know how to move ahead with this plan.
While they were arguing about this, the assassin that they sent to meet Sir Kris finally met up with him. She was able to sneak into his bedroom without being caught and had a chat with him.
