Does this count as a plot hole? SPOILER

Why would The Warriors go back to Coney Island, when they know that that is where every other gang in the city will expect them to go. They will be outnumbered, as every other gang after them will equate to a bigger a number than they have. It would be much more sensible to go somewhere else, that they wouldn't expect them to go, or for them to relocate their turf to an not yet claimed place, preferably another city, and keep it a secret. Am I wrong?

Once Cyrus got shot the truce was off. The other gangs aren't going to go through other gangs' turf to go after the Warriors. They would only hunt them down if the Warriors were in their territory with the exception of the Riffs.
The Warriors went back to Coney. We don't know how big their gang is. They had to be well known to get invited to the meeting. Only 9 members of each gang went to the meeting. How big were the Warriors? We don't know. Why didn't they phone ahead though for backup?
