The Chinese political system was very special. Usually, both low and high-level officers from the local government would never dare to neglect or delay the orders given by the higher-level bureaucrats. However, in the away troops that had been exempted from military orders, the high level officers, who had authority in their hands, could enjoy some autonomy.
For this reason, Hua Chaowu and Yao Biwu unified their opinions and set the level of the treatment enjoyed by the Gate of Witchcraft's people. In terms of daily activities, other than the Grand Wizards and Deacons, who still had slight preferential treatment who could live in the temporary barracks made from plate materials that housed up to four people in one room, the rest of the disciples would get the same treatment with the rest of the ordinary soldiers, they had to stay in giant tents where hundreds of people live together.
