Oedipus is pushing for a decision that is not Creon's to make as to the form of punishment. Creon must await divine expression of whether to execute or exile Oedipus for criminal acts and immoral behavior.Subsequently, Creon needs to decide what to do with his niece Princess Antigone's breaking his law of non-burial and burying her brother Polyneices.

What does Creon decide after Teiresias exits in 'Antigone'?

That he will bury Polyneices and release Antigone is what Creon decides after Tiresias exits in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet warns that the pain and suffering of all Thebes will be visited upon Theban King Creon's own family if he does not honor Polyneices' god-given right as a Theban to a below-ground burial and if he does not rescue Antigone from being buried alive. Creon remains stubborn until after Creon leaves. But Creon backs down once the chorus leader tells him to do what Teiresias says.
