Malaysiakini understands that Muhyiddin, who just returned from Australia, held a meeting with his team recently to discuss the Umno showdown on Wednesday.
Those close to the number two in the party are said to be taking no chances and are reviewing all possibilities in case he is set up for sacking on grounds that the speeches he had made on the issue is considered to be against the party or the president.
The source noted that: "There is no mention of any supreme council agenda on the matter (sacking of Muhyiddin). However, we are not taking any chances".
Muhyiddin and Umno vice-president Shafie Apdal were sacked from Najib's cabinet on July 29.
Wednesday will see the first party supreme council meeting after their controversial sacking. An earlier meeting was put off and party leaders said the supreme council would instead meet after all 191 party divisions have finished their annual general meetings this weekend.
There was speculation in social media earlier this week suggesting that Muhyiddin and Shafie would be given the boot by the party.
Also to be sacked, according to the messages, were Kedah Menteri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir, Kulim Bandar Baru MP Aziz Sheikh Fadzir, former Terengganu menteri besar Ahmad Said, former Perak exco member Hamidah Osman and Sepanggar MP Jumat Idris.
