replying to J. Liu et al. Nature Astronomy https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550-021-01310-6 (2021)

We thank Liu et al.1 for their constructive comments. As they pointed out, our research2 has several limitations. We would like to describe these limitations and explain why we think our research is meaningful, then detail our future goals.
