It looks like you need revered reputation with The Honorbound to get this quest
This is auto pop up quest and you just need to farm rep to get it.

This quest is part of the Horde War Campaign
The Strike on Boralus questchain of the Ready for War <= more info and rep requirement inside.

I ran around like an idiot for 10 minutes trying to figure out where to continue this quest chain, until I opened my quest log and saw in big red letters, "Reach Revered with Honorbound to continue."

Except, that's why I was doing this chain in the first place -- hoping to get my Honorbound rep to Revered. Instead, most of this chain doesn't give much Honorbound rep at all, which is pretty frustrating.

Comment by WokkaD

After completing With Prince in Tow I was immediately offered When a Plan Comes Together.
The Honorbound rep at 3124 Honored.

Comment by fokusrite

This is either bugged or requires 1300+ rep into revered with the honorbound. Since I was at 1275 into revered but no pop up quest alert appeared, I went to drustvar and did the closest world quest. Upon completion i got 75 honorbound rep and the ui pop up alert breadcrumb quest Operation: Hook and Line at the same time.

For the BFA War Campaign, there are 4 breadcrumb quests: Operation: Grave Digger, Operation: Water Wise, Operation: Bottom Feeder & Operation: Hook and Line. They all act in the same way. Originally they would pop up during the campaign, telling you you needed to get more reputation with The Honorbound before opening up next step. However, in 8.2.5, Blizzard removed the reputation requirements for the War Campaign quests. At first I thought that had effectively made these breadcrumbs unavailable, but they can be done, you just have to do things in a very specific manner.

For Operation: Grave Digger:
1) Do all the intro quests from Nathanos, up to and including The Bridgeport Ride.
2) Do not accept next War Campaign quest from Nathos yet.
3) If needed, grind Honorbound reputation up to Friendly 4500/6000. Check https://www.wowhead.com/guide/the-honorbound-reputation-guide-6209 for tips.
4) Triggering the actual quest can be done in two ways: Getting reputation with Honorbound past the required rep (for example by doing a WQ on Kul'Tiras) or by relogging in Orgrimmar.
5) Now you can turn in Operation: Grave Digger and continue on with next step of the War Campaign.

For Operation: Water Wise:
1) Continue on with War Campaign, up to and including What Remains of Marshal M. Valentine.
2) Do not accept next War Campaign quest from Nathos yet.
3) If needed, grind Honorbound reputation up to Honored 3000/12000.
4) Triggering the actual quest can be done in two ways: Getting reputation with Honorbound past the required rep (for example by doing a WQ on Kul'Tiras) or by relogging in Orgrimmar.
5) Now you can turn in Operation: Water Wise and continue on with next step of the War Campaign.

For Operation: Bottom Feeder:
1) Continue on with War Campaign, up to and including To Be Forsaken.
2) Do not accept next War Campaign quest from Nathos yet.
3) If needed, grind Honorbound reputation up to Honored 7500/12000.
4) Triggering the actual quest can be done in two ways: Getting reputation with Honorbound past the required rep (for example by doing a WQ on Kul'Tiras) or by relogging in Orgrimmar.
5) Now you can turn in Operation: Bottom Feeder and continue on with next step of the War Campaign.

For Operation: Hook and Line:
1) Continue on with War Campaign, up to and including With Prince in Tow.
2) Do not accept next War Campaign quest from Nathos yet.
3) If needed, grind Honorbound reputation up to Revered.
4) Triggering the actual quest can be done in two ways: Getting reputation with Honorbound past the required rep (for example by doing a WQ on Kul'Tiras) or by relogging in Orgrimmar.
5) Now you can turn in Operation: Hook and Line and continue on with next step of the War Campaign.
