You just meet some TCMA teacher the 1st time. He also has his students with him. He says, "Punch me". What will you do?

If I sense this guy is being a kung fu BS jerk then I'll give him a hard time.
Behold. Mighty Ross. His coming was foretold in the Book of BaWang. He will come with a Vengeance on David, Son of Jamie. The Warring Trolls will unite across the Forums of Ching. And the Virgin Warrior, Pure-Hearted Lucas shall be offered up in Sacrifice to appease His Wrath. His Truth will ring in the hearts of the Kickboxers, and They shall be Glorified forevermore. Peace be upon you, Internet Traveler.
I would either ask him why, or simply punch him and try to hit him. Since I just met him for the first time, and he is not my friend nor holds any association with me, I would try and connect with a punch since he is obviously trying to bait you into losing face in front of his students, and trying to show his superiority over you.
If he can be civil and kindly discuss what he is trying to demonstrate, I could work with him, but if he wants to be all sneaky, I will reply in kind and try to connect with a punch.
After all, he did ask for it.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
My reaction depends on who it is that is asking. Often I'll just leave my fist out and see what they'll do with it - protecting myself as best as I can, of course. That's probably not the wisest method, but most masters/practitioners know that if they blacken my eye, they'll never get published in any of our publications.

Just the last Sunday (3 days ago), the initial discussion was about WC Bong Shou. I mentioned my concern about the raising elbow. My opponent disagreed and said, "Punch me".
I did admire his willing to prove by his action instead of his words. The problem is he also forced me to prove with my action too. Since we both came from the same generation, he should understand the situation.
We could just exchanged opinions by "words". I will never ask anybody to punch me. I always like to punch first.

Throw a hook.
This was exactly happened:
- I used right punch at his face.
- He blocked it with his right Bon Shou.
- My left hand pushed his right elbow up, and my right hand pressed his right wrist down.
- He "tried" to drop his right elbow down into a Tan Shou, and punch me with his left hand at the same time.
- I ...
