The last thing the Xianzhou as a whole are scare of is potential conflict.
But Jing Yuan in specific tries to minimize casualty. He clearly values keeping as many people alive as possible, even before becoming general. Futhermore, it's entirely possible the level of destruction Taoran is threatening is on Shuhu level, where less than 10٪ of Cloud Knights survived. Tengxiao might accept those numbers but Jing Yuan clearly is not.
The example we're given of "权衡", in story, is that the marshal decided that Hoolay will be imprisoned on the Luofu instead of the Yaoqing,
Yeah, the Marshal is making a decision that is most likely to reduce the chances of another Sedition level chaos due to "good intentions". She's balancing (权衡) the expediency of appeasing Foxian rage against future potential misuse. The balance that's happening is measured in lives lost.
Hence why I'm pretty sure the 权衡 being talked about is potential chaos that will result from executing Taoran vs the expediency of getting rid of him for good.
