TheWoWDBIt's a false choice, you (the player) & Arator are far too late to change the outcome of this battle. If you try to dissuade the blood elves, they all remain steadfast. So don't sweat it and complete the quest however you fancy.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Since there are no comments about it, I'm hoping that means my choice to help or hinder shouldn't be significant? There doesn't appear to be a branching path for the quest chain at least. The video did both sets of optional objectives so it doesn't help me. Guess I'll just do it and see.
To be specific, you need to either disuade 8 Sin'dorei, or you need to plant/burn 8 banners. Once you complete either of those, it will proceed to the next step of catching up with Arator and Liadrin.

Description
Our findings at Tor'Watha were correct. By the time Turalyon and I arrived here with troops, the Amani had already begun to take the pass. They seek to establish another path to acquire the lightwood from our land. The Amani have chosen war, as they always do. This, at least, is a threat I know how to handle. Arator is but a boy. He cannot grasp the magnitude of history between the sin'dorei and Amani--and I don't expect him to. Will you stand by the blood elves, and all that is right?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Beat of Blood
None of this is necessary. We need to make them see reason! My father will know what to do. I know he'll see reason, once I explain what has happened here. There is no need for bloodshed! It's simple: if the Amani are set against the Twilight's Blade, we fight on the same side.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Past Redemption
These monsters deserve nothing more than swift retribution. For Silvermoon. For the sin'dorei. <Turalyon's eyes blaze with Light.> For Alleria. This will be finished!
