Here "heart" represents a person's desires. Desires are spoken of here as if they were an object that someone could set or place in a certain position. Alternate translation: "each determined to do evil to the other" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# will sit at the same table

Sitting at the same table represents the act of talking to each other. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
