Undoubtedly, these few people chose to cooperate. The Bald Head was a stranded player, unrelated to the instance of the National Treasure. He only happened to team up with a few people to try and gain some benefits. However, he did provide some value by using his experience to corroborate the truthfulness of the others' statements.
The quest for the Offensive Faction overlaps with the Defender Camp to some extent. They also need to find the National Treasure, not to help Lian Qingkong, but to allow other forces to take the place.
This is not surprising. If the Offensive Faction's mission was simply to stop the Defender Camp, they wouldn't have allowed Gong Shu to live.
Among these people, the old man and the female player have just arrived, while another male player is a stranded player from the Offensive Faction. His purpose is clear, to prevent anyone from passing the level.
The female player, however, hopes to find more clues through the people who came to look for Gong Shu.
