The suspicion had occurred to me that "Horn" was wrong in thinking that the
inhumi thought that their secret could be used to destroy them (since I
couldn't find any place where an inhumu/a actually says so); and that they
were obeying him in Gaon for reasons of their own.  But I rejected this
hypothesis in the end, on the grounds that it's hard to see why "Horn" would
think that the inhumi thought the secret could be used to destroy them,
unless Krait had told him so.
