"Currently speaking, Chao Tian Sect doesn't have any factions, it's entirely dominated by its founder's absolute authority,"
"The founder also doesn't have a wife, so there are no factional pulls from that end."
In early powers, it's usually a one-man rule where the founder holds supreme dignity and power.
But... if this founder has a wife who has been struggling alongside him, then there's a certain probability that the wife would feel that she has also contributed greatly to reaching this stage.
Unwilling to stay in the shadows, she begins to divide the power, and undercurrents of factional rivalries start emerging.
This is not very common, but it's not rare either.
Such situations are usually tricky because even if the founder of the power is aware, in most cases they turn a blind eye, as there are very few willing to harshly deal with someone so close to their own pillow, and with such a stance from the top, it naturally disrupts the hearts of those below.
