conclave
This term carries a strong connotation of exclusivity and secrecy. While it can refer to any private gathering of powerful individuals, it evokes an atmosphere of high stakes, solemnity, and isolation from the outside world. It is significantly more formal and weighted than words like "meeting" or "session."
In its specific ecclesiastical sense, the word refers to the locked-door process of electing a pope. This origin informs the general usage, suggesting a meeting where participants are "locked in" until a decision is reached. Because of this association, using "conclave" for a casual get-together would be seen as an ironic or hyperbolic misuse of the register.
