Welcome to Bonsai Nut!
That is a very interesting question that needs a lot more data to answer. The answer is it depends on the situation.
Let’s start with the basics:
1. Please post a couple images of the tree(s) involved.
2. Briefly explain what work is intended to be done. How much pruning, the scope of the wiring.
3. When was the tree last repotted (if you know). If not how long has the tree been in your possession?
4. please post your approximate location and USDA zone. To do this please double tap your icon on top of the page. The scroll to account details and click. Finally scroll down to these areas.
These data well give us the background needed to answer your question.
cheers

I am an old man and forget things after the fact, please forgive me. I don’t think I will repot now. Maybe wait for the end of summer or fall. Please have patience with an old man. Thank you again

No worries! First recommend going back in and taking each junction down to two. One up, one out. Or to a fork on the side branches. Always prune the thickest branch off to improve taper. Then check for bar branches.
Then take the lower branches down even further so new growth will create tapered branching.
Repot in fall or next spring. Start thinking about what media the plant will be replanted in. You might want to review this link.

I would suggest early next Spring like January or February, zone 9 weather gets hot very suddenly.
