In Fahrenheit 451, what was Montag willing to do to convince Faber to help him carry out the plan?

In the book, Montag wants to undermine society.  His only idea is to plan books in the homes of firefighters to make them look bad.  He goes to Faber for help but Faber does not want to help him.


What Montag does is not really something that convinces Faber.  It is more like Montag blackmails him.  What Montag does is to start tearing up a Bible.  As far as Faber knew, there were none around and he really wanted to read it.  So when Montag starts tearing it up, Faber tells him to stop -- that if he stops, Faber will help him.
