Border guards usually have many contact with other galaxy zones too. Maybe the leader is afraid they will secretly send messages to others about a WSA visit. He made the right move to prevent any information from getting out, while he bring the WSA to the higher ups. In more extreme cases, the guards would even be completely killed to prevent any witness. The famous First come First serve. It would not surprise me the higher ups will use this opportunity to try to send many beautiful females to entertain the alchemist and see if they can recruit him or even see what he has for trade.
