Take the family of cubics through those 9 points. On the blow up they form a basepoint-free linear system that defines an elliptic fibration. The exceptional curves give sections, so you have a relative group action. The exceptional curves generate a free group of rank 8. Any translate of any exceptional curve is another $(-1)$-curve.
