But they knew that what they were saying was a mere lie.
As Allah said:
وَجَحَدُواْ بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْماً وَعُلُوّاً

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(10:78) They replied: 'Have you come to turn us away from the way of our forefathers that the two of you might become supreme in the land? *76 We shall never accept what the two of you say.'
They said, "Have you come to us meaning
*76).Had the sole demand of Moses and Aaron ( peace be on him ) been the liberation of the Israelites, Pharaoh and his courtiers would not have suspected that the spread of these Prophets' message would transform the religion of the land and that the supremacy of Pharaoh and his courtiers would be undermined.
What made them uneasy was the fact that Prophet Moses ( peace be on him ) was inviting the people of Egypt to the true faith and that this posed a threat to the whole polytheistic way of life which was the very cornerstone of the predominance of Pharaoh and his chiefs and clergy.
