الخلاصة/ مربط الفرس

In addition to the previously mentioned meanings of bottom line, the phrase is also used to refer to the ultimate result, the upshot; also, the main point or crucial factor. For example, The bottom line is that the chairman wants to dictate all of the board's decisions.

That is why in this sense it can only be translated as الخلاصة/ مربط الفرس

Check the last paragraph in the following site and the 3rd point of the second site.
Example sentence:

For example, The bottom line is that the chairman wants to dictate all of the board's decisions.
