I thought I had to close the actual three portals you see open and I couldn't figure out HOW. You don't close those...
Instead you find a bunch of (nearly invisible) portals all around that area. So just run around and fight and whatever and you'll come across them.
Pairs well with "Precious Little Left" which you should have as well. Just do that and you'll find the portals too.
There's no needed to kill anyone to close blue portals, you need purple ones, that being closed by interacting with them.

Description
The Nightborne are here in force. As if that were not worrying enough, they now bring reinforcements. I have seen them opening large portals to Suramar. Through these portals they have called in their constructs. They are immune to much of my magic and so represent something of a stumbling block to rejoining the others. Find the portals and close as many as you can. That should buy us some time.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Precious Little Left
I have not been able to leave the safety of my guardians to search, but there are three tomes of great importance to me and mine. They contain secrets and cantrips that the Nightborne must NOT obtain.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Starweaver's Fate
I will take these tomes to Thalrenus. There is one thing that weighs heavily on my mind, and I would like for you to attend to it in my stead. My wife and life partner, Syrana Starweaver, resides in the Starweaver's Sanctum across the bridge.
