Why doesn't Jesus respond to the grand inquisitor?

I'm sorry, Jesus is only mentioned once in the entire text of The Grand Inquisitor. I have provided that text below. Note, I am unsure of how this quote applies to the question you've asked. If your question applies to a specific section of the text, please advise.

"'Yes; right were ye, oh Fathers of Jesus; ye alone are in possession of His mystery, and we return to you, praying that ye save us from ourselves!"
