The stances of all of the newly formed factions of the Red Collective became pretty clear.
The Coalition of Faiths, the Terran Faction, the Rubarthan Faction and the League of Minor States all voiced their strong support for allowing sects to occupy seats in the Upper Council.
The Guardians of Order, the Mecher Faction and the Fleeter Faction opposed the decision to allow sects to place their own senators in the Upper Council.
The two groups were roughly evenly divided as a consequence.
The proponents had a vast amount of population on their size. An overwhelming majority of states wanted to gain a greater voice in the upper council by working through their citizens that would comprise various sects.
Whether the cultivators that would eventually become a part of these sects would retain their loyalty to their states was a very questionable assumption.
