TheWoWDBYou'll pop into a cinematic and listen to Drek'Thar's speech:
So you have come seeking our aid?
I... *cough* I have been alive for a very long time. In that time I have seen and done terrible things.
Things that still keep me awake at nights.
But these terrible things that I have done and the people that I have harmed - I know them... I face them... and I feel remorse for them.
But the Forsaken. *cough* What do they feel?
They ravage the land and destroy everything that they touch. How many lives have been lost to their vile poisons?
How many innocents have fallen before the Forsaken war machine?
Countless... countless lives... *cough*
Yes... I have done terrible things, but nothing could ever be as terrible as lending aid to the Forsaken.
You go back to that spineless orc who would not come see me and you tell him that the Frostwolf clan will not aid the Forsaken. Not now, not ever!
BEGONE!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Aid of the Frostwolf
I will study the Stormpike battle plans and prepare for an assault. I need you to go to Alterac Valley and enlist the aid of the Frostwolf Clan: the very clan of our former warchief, Thrall. They will help us battle the Stormpike dwarves!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- March of the Stormpike
These plans you recovered weave an interesting tale, <name>. The Stormpike have been moving their armies from Alterac Valley into the "four fingers" of Hillsbrad for over a month. Somehow they have managed to secretly get their installations set up without our forces knowing.
