Points to oppose in the meeting (9)
I believe the answer is:
encounter
'the meeting' is the definition.
('encounter' can be a synonym of 'meeting')
'points to oppose' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'en'.
'to oppose' becomes 'counter' (I've seen this before).
'en'+'counter'='ENCOUNTER'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for encounter that I've seen before include "Meet; confrontation" , "Meet, come across" , "Come upon, meet" , "fight" , "tackle" .)
