Sparkle, line ahead, and pray. There really isn't too much else you can do. My 9x fleet will still get taihad often especially in the first node though the second node tends to be more tame.

Biggest threat of the first node is of course the closing torpedos. Having Abukuma kai ni for an opening torp will typically net you one kill, then it's relying on your fleet's daytime FP, accuracy, and RNG to chuuha/sink the rest of the enemy fleet so that there are less torpedos to dodge. Double guns + radar is how I load out my DDs. Cut ins can fail and at night even orange HP DDs will double attack everything to death on the boss node.

Alternatively you could try a heavier but compass troll route.
