Here is what I think is going on: The only way to give Ichigo back his powers is through his death. Isshin was well aware of Ichigo's dying desires (lolpun) for protecting everyone dear to him, so he talked to Urahara about it, and this one told him about this method, hence why he said doing so would change Ichigo's life forever and the gloomy faces. On the other hand, Soul Society is well aware of Ichigo's abilities, (The captain of the medical squad said that Ichigo had twice the reiatsu of a current captain before even using The final Getsuga) and because his colaboration on defeating Aizen, they decided to recruit him as an official shinigami.
Who knows, maybe Ichigo can make it to Captain considering his previous strength and the fact that Soul Society is lacking captains. And also now he can actually end up with Rukia if they both are death.
You sound like a guy writing a fanfic. Ichigo isn't dead. And the only way for him to get his powers back was through the same method he got his powers in the first place. The fullbring brought his Reiatsu back to his original human state and then the zampakutou gave him his Shinigami abilities back. You can't speculate on anything about Soul Society right now besides the fact that they were arguing about something (and that may have just been Ichigo's imagination).
