It means that a higher powered person has minions, likely Cinder, Roman, the two people who flanked her, and anyone else on her side.

I'm guessing that Cinder is the queen, Roman is a Knight at best, pawn at worst, and  the two people are bishops/rooks, while everyone else is a pawn. One big chess game waiting to happen.
