In the broader context of the novel it was that way. Rivendell wasn't an open forum. And it shouldn't have been.

Uhm, yes it was, and all that took part in the council where there by pure chance (e.g. fate) in the book.

Fate? or the machinations of a wizard who was actually a demigod?

Also, do you think Elrond would have allowed just anyone into that council?

And, if you consider the mechanism of fate, the qualities in those present (that brought them there, then) and in those who would later be seduced by Sauron (that prevented them from being present) you would understand that we are saying the same thing.
