Upgrade 7.1 to Atmos, can the tv decode it for me and send the signal via ARC

It's time to upgrade my TV.  Looking at an LG65 inch OLED with Atmos.
My pre/pro is DD 7.1 but does have ARC to get audio from the TV.
Can I stream via wifi to my tv and have it send the Atmos signal to my Emotiva UMC-200.  Will that allow me to run Atmos sound with 7.1 sound?  The TV's should have Atmos decoding.
The budget isn't there to upgrade the TV and pre/pro right now.
Rest of theater is Mac amps and Coincident speakers all around with an Oppo 105.

Thanks Eric,
I love my current 7.1 and just wanted to add Atmos without buying a new pre.  It looks like I may end up buying an OLED TV without Atmos and then start searching for a pre later.

My new TV comes Wednesday 65" E class LG OLED.
For the first time ever my video might be better than my audio.  More to come...
