فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا ۚ وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ
FaajmiAAoo kaydakum thumma itoo s affan waqad afla h a alyawma mani istaAAl a
Hence, [O sorcerers of Egypt,] decide upon the scheme which you will pursue, and then come forward in one single body:46 for, indeed, he who prevails today shall prosper indeed!"47
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "in one [single] line", i.e., in unison.

Cf. {7: 113-114}.

Therefore, muster up all devices and face them with a united front." Finally when the day of confrontation came, Fir'on said: " Whoever comes out victorious this day shall prevail."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So orchestrate your plan, then come forward in 'perfect' ranks. And whoever prevails today will certainly be successful.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
So arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed successful.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"Therefore concert your plan. And then assemble in (serried) ranks: he wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand." 2588
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Presumably Pharaoh was in this secret conference, and he promises the most lavish rewards to the magicians if they overcome Moses. See vii. 114. That-but I think more than that-is implied. That day was to be the crisis: if they won then, they would win all along, and Moses and his people would be crushed.
