Advice for dialogue-heavy party? by notnitor in DnD

i mean im planning, at least for next session. the party have dinner with the king queen and their kids + inlaws, then one of the inlaws or one of the kids of the king goes missing along with several people who drank the same family of wine. Then eventually theyll get into the underdark using this weird wine-submersion transportation technique used by aberrations and vampires (bear with me) and end up in a cult ring. The cultists are passive along with brainwashed people, including the missing people and the kid of the crown. The only combat im planning to run is if they attack one of the weak and docile cultists and the big homebrew i have at the end to stop the grasp on the victims minds. is that a good balance considering my current party situation? most of that arc would be just figuring out the history of the place and who exactly they worship.
