At the same time that William, Canza and the other two were up against the Satcthalle, the survivors of their groups had gone to a safe distance to wait out the situation. As they couldn't participate in such a high level battle, the only thing they could do was hide and wait until the coast was clear. Also, since both sides were temporarily working together, the disputes between them were set aside for the moments.
On William's side, there were three survivors —excluding him and his bodyguard— out of the original team of eight. As for Canza's group, their casualties were much more, having lost more than half of their men with only two survivors —Canza and Cassie excluded— out of the initial ten men.
Despite William's group having more survivors, the two sides were balanced. This was because one of the three survivors was the severely injured fourth level stellar practitioner, who wouldn't be of much threat to anyone at the moment.
