This!
At this point I think a majority of the Taselakians might actually simply pause their chars, or have them die in death duels if they get accepted. From those leaving, I expect the majority to go to Sandalak, except Aeneas for sure :p, not Maybe Sacha. Ikalak would have to pull some rare stunts to get the Taselakians to join them on a larger scale rather than just getting the Lord Torturer in.
I would find it preferable if most did pause, but then that is signing them up for boredom until the island resets.
