Jing Qi can keep his calm under most situations, and he is rather certain this is a situation where he will be better off not getting underfoot, and defending himself if it comes to that, rather than trying to hold the creatures off alongside Zishu.

"I see." That means that his efforts will be better spent, while careful, directing people out so that there are fewer in danger of the monsters. So he backs off, straightens up, and settles in as the Prince Nan'ning, starting to work on calming people immediately around them and directing them in a less panicking fashion towards the exit.

"Let us hope that the exit can be barred from the outside."

Perhaps that will not stop monsters that come out of earth splitting open, but... it yet might help. A little.
