Since I do not know where does the client come from, I can't give you a proper solution. I'll show you how I made mine work, though.

Client code:

const client = new Discord.Client({
  intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES", "GUILD_WEBHOOKS", "DIRECT_MESSAGES", "GUILD_BANS", "GUILD_MEMBERS", "GUILD_VOICE_STATES"], //must use intents
  allowedMentions: ["users"] //stops people from using +say @everyone
});

On code:

//state: on
client.on("ready", () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
  console.log("Connected to server(s):");
  client.guilds.cache.forEach((guild) => {
    console.log(" - " + guild.name + "\n    ID: " + guild.id +"\n");
    guild_number += 1;
  });
      console.log(`The number of guilds connected: ${guild_number}`);
      client.user.setActivity('World of Tanks', {type: "PLAYING"});
      client.user.setStatus('dnd');
    });

You should put all the client initalizers (defining, on, etc.) in your index.js.
