In 1927, in an attempt to once again pacify the country under their rule, the Inner Sanctum decided to propose to the new leader of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek, to join their ranks.

Chiang ultimately rejected the offer, announcing his decision directly to the Templar leaders on the same day of his massacre of the communists in Shanghai.
