In the Onmyo-ryo, every resolution is initiated by a member of the council, and once it receives the approval of half of the council members, the resolution is submitted to the five chairmen, known as the big5, for the final decision. Additionally, any one of the big5 has the power to veto. It can be said that even if all the members agree on a resolution, if even one chairman disagrees, the resolution cannot be executed under legitimate pretenses. (The first time Fujiwara Reya heard of this rule, he thought to himself this isn't much different from the United Nations Security Council!)
Moreover, each division's big5 are also members of the headquarters' council.
Five divisions, totaling 25 people, hold the power to decide the fate of the nation's clergy.
With power comes great strength, and if the person is a young and beautiful woman... naturally, she becomes the admiration and pursuit of all.
