Take this with a grain of salt, but I believe that Emacs Lisp will be implemented on top of Guile. More precisely, ELisp code will be compiled to Guile bytecode (which runs on a register VM[1]), which should make ELisp code run faster.

As a result, Guile and ELisp code will be able to play together.

This is indeed the case. Elisp will be another language running on the Guile VM.
