it's not imparfait, so its not etaient.
its passe compose because what im saying is past tense. So how would you say that?

I agree with TheMoop. It should be imparfait.
Here are some potential verbs - discuter (ils discutaient) and débattre (ils débattaient) are great for a debate-style argument, and if it's more of a quarrel, you could try se disputer (ils se disputaient).
