Further back, there were three hundred Hou Clan military leaders clad in crimson-gold battle armor. The Hou Clan now commands a force of twenty million soldiers, their generals as numerous as the stars, and today those qualified to attend are mid- to high-level leaders who hold authority over towns with populations of over a hundred thousand, with the weakest in cultivation still at the Yinyang Boundary.
Besides these core figures, the Upper Hou Gate, Lower Hou Sect, White Feather Guards, Black Feather Guards, Qinglong Association, Zhaoyang Escort Agency, Mi Yao, Xuanting, Qian Cheng, and the Prefecture Treasury's Four Departments stood in serried rank behind them. The vast majority of them possess cultivation at the Yuan Dan Realm, and even among those in the Grandmaster Realm, most are Great Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm and at heavenly levels.

"There must be three or four thousand people here, right?"
