A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Hey guys, this came up recently. Can you declare an attack, then assign no infantry or cavalry, then go to the first battlefield and use Silent Movements (targeting any unbowed ninja at your home to pay the cost) to put a ninja from your home at the current battlefield, thus satisfying both presence and location after the movement? I searched but couldn't find a thread elsewhere answering this question. Thanks!

Moving a unit from your home to the Current Battlefield satisfies Location and Presence, so that's completely legal.
Battles are still fought and resolved, even when no one assigns any units to them. You can take full advantage of the Combat Segment to populate your side of the Battlefield with cards like Silent Movements, Akodo Shinichi, or Unwavering Assault.
