The situation for the Old Zirantian League is so desperate they sent a delegation the the Doom King of all factions in a bid for political clout. Not supporting them after they spent all that time and resources on the endeavour will give their opponents even more leverage, meaning they don't exactly have the ability to support foreign bodies.

Supporting them means buying more time. This means more time for Biyue to build political support so she's in a stronger position when the Old Zirantian League inevitably falls apart, but also more time for our ploy with Yuanon to take root, destabilizing the People's Action Party means weakening both them and the amount of influence the Divine Claw have without them becoming directly involved (through some sort of uprising)

Not buying time means Biyue is in no position to take control and either the People's Action Party (which hasn't been weakened yet and still has the indirect support of the Divine Claw) or the National Action Party is likely to take control.

So it seems to me more like a choice of "Destablize Zirantia now, get it over with and have but have a weaker position in the future" or "Destabilize Zirantia later and have more control of it"
