Coming up face to face with someone, Ignis coolly assessed the situation and the man with the staff in front of him. Having a very healthy respect for magic and what it could do, he immediately dismissed his weapon.

"We've been sent here to help secure the tower in order for the ritual to be performed. Are you one of the wizards?"

Ignis figures he's correct, and puts his hand up in case the rest of his team is coming up behind him. He doesn't know if they'd all be seen as a threat. And the tactician isn't going to risk any unnecessary altercation.
