Even if Cinder is not at the top, it does not mean she is not acting for her own reasons. Many speculate that she has some personal motivation, like a desire for revenge. That is something that leaves her open to manipulation in the classic "I will give you the power to take out your revenge on those who have caused you pain, but in exchange you must serve me!" arrangement. You also set her up for a potential Heel-Face turn should her leader betray her or use her in a way she cannot accept.
