Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed by combining the accusative plural of the participle "προεστώς" (proestōs), meaning "one who presides" or "leader," and the aorist infinitive "πέμψαι" (pempsai), meaning "to send." The combined meaning is "to send those who preside" or "to send the leaders." This specific compound is highly unusual and likely a unique construction for the given context, rather than a standard dictionary entry. It functions as an infinitive phrase.
