"Elder, how large is the Heavenly Lightning Sect?" John asked, seeking to gather more information regarding the sect.
"In terms of numbers, or land?" Elder Ragur asked.

There are twenty thousand outer disciples, nine thousand inner disciples, a few hundred core disciples, and a few dozen direct disciples. With workers, merchants, and other professions as well, there are about one hundred thousand members of our sect."
John was prepared to hear a large number, but the number still surprised him. He remembered what Elder Ragur had told him earlier regarding disciples, and wanted to confirm his thoughts.
