The last part of the sentence is throwing me off because I'm not sure whether
or not "死んだ先人達" should be read as "しんださきひとたち" or "しんだせんじんたち." Could it depend
on context? Are both readings acceptable?

Thank you for any replies!

question
kanji readings multiple-readings
How do I read this sentence? 「そこにいるのは、すでに死んだ先人達。」
先人 is read as せんじん. I've never seen/heard it read as さきひと. I don't think it
can be read otherwise, at least in modern Japanese.
