“Even if I die in battle today, I will never let the reputation and honor of our Tianyuan Sect be tarnished.”
In traditional Chinese wuxia and clan culture, personal life and death are often subordinate to the reputation of the collective sect (such as the 'Tianyuan Sect'). Dying in battle is regarded as a noble sacrifice heavier than Mount Tai, whereas surviving in disgrace and shaming the sect is seen as the ultimate humiliation.
