The members inside... every single one is a Family Head!
This existence is explosive no matter which force it stands against.
It's equivalent to many families gathering secretly and becoming an undeniable power.
So the Affiliated Council is more of a coalition than an organization, similar to the type of structure Fang Yu imagined might be backing Zhuge Shi.
The Affiliated Council started small, but has existed for many years, slowly absorbing new Family Heads and forces. Along with the original elder organization, its strength in all aspects has increased. So this organization, which no one initially took seriously, now carries some weight.
When Bo Changquan came to the Capital and was just establishing his family, he was invited by the Affiliated Council for mutual benefit and support—to band together against external forces.
