I am unable to find and pick up this quest despite it showing up on the world map inside The Great Seal somewhere.

It is worth mentioning (especially for players like me who are returning from a hiatus and playing catch-up) that you must first complete and turn in "The Price of Victory" prior to being able to see Valeera in Orgrimmar for the turn in of "A Gathering of Champions" at the embassy. I searched everywhere for an answer to this and then just started combing through my quest log to see what could possibly be of conflict and realized that I also had a completed turn in to see Baine in Thunder Bluff, a necessary pre-requisite prior to being able to complete this quest.
Hope this helps anyone who found themselves stuck at this spot, also!
Just got this quest today (and I'm in the Great Seal often enough to have seen it before today). I just killed N'Zoth last night. I'm thinking this quest is dependent on the N'Zoth kill quest.

What to do
Description
The leaders of the Horde are gathering together in Orgrimmar to nominate a new Warchief of the Horde. As a champion of the Horde, your presence at the meeting has been requested. The gathering will be held at the embassy in Orgrimmar. I will be going on ahead. Come speak with me when you arrive in Orgrimmar, I'll be waiting with the others. Make haste, champion. The future of the Horde is about to be decided...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Hidden Need
Because of Sylvanas, some members of the Horde are skeptical of the Forsaken. We must regain their trust. We cannot do that without accepting ourselves. So many feel lost, alone... abandoned. I have arranged a meeting. It could be a big step... or all go horribly wrong.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Warchief of the Horde
The meeting to decide the next Warchief of the Horde is about to begin. The other leaders of the Horde have already arrived. They are waiting for you inside the embassy. Speak with me when you are ready, and we will greet the others together.
