If a king sends messenger to another king who also carries back the reply. Will that be a virtual meeting?

Ea-nāṣir sold sub-standard copper to the servant of Nassi. Nassi had not accepted it and his servant was treated very rudely by Ea-nāṣir, and inscribed a letter to be delivered to Ea-nāṣir. Was this a virtual meeting?

meeting implies near real time and more than two participants.
