Of course, they were just ostensibly on the same side. In Motan's eyes, it's likely that those so-called 'minority factions' within the Sun Sect couldn't see anything beyond their god.
After all, if analyzed by Motan's current personality, under normal circumstances, he would keep as far away from such an extremely dangerous organization as possible. Although he would dislike it, he wouldn't easily stir up trouble, as his sense of justice is just what it is, and his vanity is almost non-existent.
However, the conspiracy orchestrated by the Sun Sect's minority members, led by Walton Kaleni, the Gold-Crowned High Priest, in Sumer made Motan change what should have been his 'usual attitude' in theory.
It was a conspiracy entirely targeting him...
