Is this worded correctly?

Faeryl betrayed the group to Matron Mothers Drisinil Melarn and Ssipriina Zauvirr, and Quenthel was captured along with Jeggred while in the warehouse that contained the goods. Valas, Ryld, and Pharaun were occupied with their own missions at the time, but were eventually convinced to join their comrades at House Melarn in the belief that they were being held as guests.

Faeryl betrayed the group to Matron Mothers Drisinil Melarn and Ssipriina Zauvirr, and Quenthel was captured along with Je ggred in the warehouse containing the goods. Valas, Ryl d a nd Pharaun were occupied with their own missions at the time, but they were eventually convinced to join their comrades at House Melarn in the belief that they were being held as guests. 'Held as guests' seems very wrong.
