Your assumption is well-founded. But if Gallifrey were to make it out alive, I would rather that my people would understand that there comes a time when remaining in seclusion in a universe such as this is no longer an option. Opening our doors to other races was the first step but because of conflicting agendas and opinions, my plans fell through and crumbled.

If we are to find a place in the universe in this time then we must come to realize that we are not alone nor are we to monopolize the responsibilities we carry for time and space. Nor are we infallible. There is much that we can learn from other races as they can learn from us.
