I think you can understand a plan and still save a few brain cells to know that everyone losing everything would be a shit deal. I think the use of 'if' is important in their comment. While I am hopeful for the plan, I'm not dumb enough to actually trust it or any man. Living this way is the only reason my family name survives, we're not changing now. When it comes time to slaughter the invaders in the bogs we'll be there.
If he understood how bad things really were, how pervasive the rot really is, and what's at stake, he wouldn't be concerned with what he might lose but rather what we stand to gain if we pull this off. Or the dark age our children face if we don't. Current material possessions don't matter if you understand this.
