"Death walks among us" card

["Death walks among us" card]

Thanks very much for your answer! That's what we did in our game

["Death walks among us" card]

Situation we got on our last game:

 

Death walks among us winter card was drawn. It says: "Perform an influence bid. The lowest bidder must choose one hero to desert him unless he discards 5 influence or 5 tactics cards".

We performed the bid, and i was the lower bidder, but i had the title card "Captain of the heroes league", that says my heroes never desert, so if i don't discard the influence or tactics cards, i remain unaffected, right?
