Have it displayed on an X virtual framebuffer (Xvfb).
Maybe set the geometry of the window to 1 X 1 pixel; it isn't hidden, bit its too small for many people to notice.

@MadCatMk2: I am trying to print for example the contents of a directory but the output should be in a new console. Something similar to start cmd 'dir c:\\' .
I think MadCatMk2 was attempting to ask specifically why do you need to perform the operation if no one is to see it? What is the point of using a terminal (xterm) if no one is to see it? Is the point to run "ls" or is it to run "xterm"? Are the results of "ls" important to your application?
Anyhow, often times, if not always, when someone poses the question "what are you trying to accomplish?", it is important to specify why something is required to be done, not how it is going to be done.
At any rate, have you tried specifying the xterm option "-iconic"??
