We examine the initial evolution of the two-component protogalaxies. Since there are many globular clusters, it is reasonable to assume that the protogalaxies are made up of two components. The two components are the cold clouds and the hot coronal gas. Interestingly, we always expect the evaporation of the cold component (cloud) and/or the condensation of diffuse hot gas on the boundary layer (phase-transition layer). In this Letter, we estimate the condensation timescale, in particular, that the timescale is shorter than the evolution timescale of the parent galaxies, which is to say that the dense cloud can grow easily in the hot gas via the thermal mass condensation in the two-component protogalaxies. Thus, moreover, we can speculate that the mass condensation must be suppressed by the star formation activity of the proto-globular clusters. If this were not the case, the globular clusters would have much larger typical mass.
