Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter V, § 6. The Coxeter transformation

All Coxeter transformations are conjugate in W.

Since W permutes the chambers determined by H\mathfrak{H} transitively (§ 3, no. 2, Th. 1), we are reduced to proving the following: let (C,(Hi)1≤i≤l)(C, (H_i)_{1 \leq i \leq l}) be an ordered chamber and π∈Sl\pi \in S_l; then sH1sH2⋯sHls_{H_1} s_{H_2} \cdots s_{H_l} and sHπ(1)sHπ(2)⋯sHπ(l)s_{H_{\pi(1)}} s_{H_{\pi(2)}} \cdots s_{H_{\pi(l)}} are conjugate in W. Taking into account § 4, no. 8, Prop. 8, this will follow immediately from the following lemma:

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
