I’m not sure if this will work for 718 topics at once; you might try smaller batches of 20-50 first.

I also strongly suggest you set auto-close on that category so all those topics will auto-close after (x) days or (x) days after the last activity. Then this will be basically automatic. That can be done via the category edit dialog.
