Transliteration:( Fatanaaza'ooo amrahum bainahum wa asarrun najwaa )
Then they disputed [75] their affairs among themselves and consulted secretly.
They argued among themselves, with some of the magicians saying that Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) is a magician like them, while others said, “No, he is a true Prophet.”
The discussion of the magicians among themselves was neither truthful nor reliable. Alternatively, they may have been disputing over the nature of the confrontation—that is, what form it should take in order to ensure their apparent victory.

Please refer to Surah Taha ayat 60 which provides the complete commentary from verse 60 through 64.
(20:62) Thereupon they wrangled among themselves about the matter and conferred in secret.[35]
35. This shows that those people felt in their hearts that their position was weak and knew that the miracle shown by Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) was not a piece of magic. Therefore, they had come for the encounter with hesitation and fear. But when the timely, sudden warning of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) shook them to the core, they began to debate the wisdom of holding the encounter on the Feast Day in an open place in the broad day light. For they thought that if they were defeated in the presence of the common people, all would come to know of the difference between magic and a miracle and they would lose the battle once for all.
