Omigod, the Old Chinese is going to be difficult enough. Also, please don't write in seal script.
Fortunately seal script would be beyond me! I don't even know enough about the reconstructed phonology to give it to you that way. You're basically going to get a text as if redacted in the Han dynasty (sorting out radicals) and in more recent times (punctuating, paragraphing) and published in Hong Kong or Taiwan (unsimplified characters).
I imagine you've got good dictionaries with Warring States coverage. If it makes a difference, I'm relying mostly on what's available on Pleco (古漢語大辭典,
Le Grand Ricci,
A Student's Dictionary of Classical and Medieval Chinese), and on John Cikoski's
Notes for a Lexicon of Classical Chinese, available
online; along with lots of checking at the
Chinese Text Project.
