Sañjaya said: O King, having heard these words of the wise son of Bhāradvāja (Droṇa), the teacher respectfully assented to him and then went toward Śāradvata (Kṛpa). The scene underscores the ethic of honoring counsel and maintaining proper decorum among elders and preceptors even amid the pressures of war.

Educational Q&A
Even in a battlefield context, right conduct includes listening carefully to wise counsel and showing proper respect (satkāra/gaurava) to elders and teachers; ethical order is maintained through disciplined speech, assent, and decorum.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Droṇa, after hearing the wise words attributed to him as Bhāradvāja’s son, respectfully agrees and then proceeds to Kṛpa (Śāradvata), indicating consultation/coordination among senior commanders.
