Connecting a specific client to a voice channel

Hello, I'm trying to make a distributed music bot service for a single guild. Long story (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75860115/is-there-a-way-to-connect-a-specific-discord-js-client-to-a-voice-channel) short, I've logged in several other clients I'd like to have connect to a voice channel when a user uses /play. The main bot that receives the command runs

const channel = interaction.member.voice.channel;
const { joinVoiceChannel } = require('@discordjs/voice');
const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: channel.id,
    guildId: channel.guild.id,
    adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});

const channel = interaction.member.voice.channel;
const { joinVoiceChannel } = require('@discordjs/voice');
const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: channel.id,
    guildId: channel.guild.id,
    adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});

and causes the main bot to join. I don't see anything that specifies which client is connecting, so I'm stumped on what to do. Ideally, I'd do something simple like client.voice.join(channel); but that doesn't seem possible from what I've seen.

the adapter creator used in joinVoiceChannel is what determines what client connects <Guild>.voiceAdapterCreator will be for the Client that instantiated the Guild object however because of how /voice handles grouping and reusage of connections, you'd also need to specify a different group for each client in the joinVoiceChannel options this also means you'd need the same group when accessing the connection with getVoiceConnection the group only needs to be unique between each client, so you could use something like each client's id as a side note unrelated to your issue, you should probably ensure djs and djs/voice are up to date as a few major issues were fixed in the latest releases
