How will the network reach consensus on this? Why is it assumed that a well-coordinated network of decentralized nodes will exist independently of the attacker, and that this honest network partition will be able to reach consensus on which chain to follow?

Again, how will this honest network partition coordinate their efforts to reach consensus on which chain to follow?
It seems like in all these scenarios, coordination by honest nodes is assumed, without giving any explanation as to how the nodes are able to reach consensus on which chain to follow of the many valid chains in existence.
