Well... with Ja'far being quite a big-shot within the organization, maybe he'll be able to talk them out of attacking.

But I think it's more likely that the other Imuchakk suddenly surround the Assassins. Seeing themselves in the disadvantage, their leader tries one last time to make Ja'far and his buddies rejoin them before retreating without a fight.
