By then, the small faction that had been established would become a part of the Mingyang Sect.
This sort of situation was quite common: A Dominant Bishop or Principal Sage would have their own unique ideas, rallying a group of Sect of Mechanics members around themselves to form a branch faction affiliated with the main sect.
Generally speaking, the stance of the main sect they attached to could be supportive, indifferent, or even hostile, depending on the Dominant Bishop's popularity within the original sect, as well as the motives and goals behind founding the branch.
As for Wu Jiarong, she had already quietly spoken with some other bishops she had met and had good relations with, even including two Sages. It wasn't realistic to expect the full support of the Mingyang Sect for the new sect, but at present, hostility seemed unlikely at most they might face indifference.
