The Hong Kong Federation of Students says the city officials failed to stop protesters, after speaking with the government on Tuesday.

Hong Kong student leaders protested for a fully democratic Chinese-run city for nearly a month. The largest student organization in Hong Kong's members filled the streets in rallies but have yet to see results. Tuesday marked their first time speaking to government officials and leaders in person.

"About whether there will be talks in the future this is something that isn't decided," Hong Kong Federation of Students secretary general Alex Chow told Al Jazeera.

"The government has to come up with some way to solve this problem, but what they are offering does not have any practical content," Chow said, adding that the thousands of protesters will not leave the streets any time soon.

Student leaders have yet to decide whether to speak to government leaders again, after Tuesday night's talk failed. They debated that an agreement to full democracy would end mounds of people blocking the city streets. Beijing-backed city leader Leung Chun-ying still plans on choosing the next leader which may not fall in place with the students' demands.

Leung told Al Jazeera, "There's room to make the nominating committee more democratic, and this is one of the things we very much want to talk to not just the students but the community at large about."

Chow spoke during the debate Tuesday night on a large projector screen for all protestors to see. She said, "(Officials) in the Hong Kong government can now decide whether to be democratic heroes or historical villains ... I believe every Hong Kong citizen is waiting to see."

According to the Wall Street Journal, Hong Kong's government offered to submit an official report to Beijing supporting the protestor's views with the exception of how the next leader is chosen.

Police feared that the students' talk would fuel protestors to create more damage to the streets but they remained peaceful.
