How it's used

〜とあれば attaches to a noun or clause naming a strong motivation or special circumstance and licenses the striking action in the main clause: 'if it's to learn the truth — going as far as distant places is worth it.' It is the conditional counterpart of とあって: here the resolve is prospective ('will even go'), not a reported reaction. The other options need a concession target, a standard-noun, or a series — none is present.
