In the timeless way, it's turned on to those weaker than themselves. Explanation: Hokosaki means the point of a spear. So, the phrase in question means to begin turning an attack against the weak in a timeless way. I happen to have the English version of this book, which was translated by Gerry Harcourt. The following is the exact excerpt: Their frustration builds up. And then, in the timeless way, it's turned on to those weaker than themselves. Ref. "no noe's perfect" by H.
