I’m going to rely on context to make the connection that Genchu cares about Yorikiro and therefore the future of the clan.
If it were a matter of revenge, Hirotomo would be dead. If it were a matter of Yorikiro’s safety, that could be achieved by taking him into hiding. Instead, Genchu is giving him a position of power over a major clan – not an easy job.
Old Text versus New: Genchu now talks of having a goal here but the old text made it clear that he was considering the good of the Clan.

So in other words you are relying on people not being idiots?
I love how harsh the colors are on this page.
