I hope we dont become leader. I mean we are soldiers in an army. Not leaders. I didn't even liked the garrison idea for that fact that i am the leader of this garrison while all my friends are also the leaders. There should be only one leader and this should be an NPC. And we should be the members and the army to fight.
We will lead our class order but I don't think it will be Councel of 6 (kirin'tor) as it was stated it was a secret order and they aren't really secret.
The idea behind the player = leader is that we save the world multiple time, we started at the same level than a Peon and we finish reporting directly to leader. So we was designed to lead Draenor situation. We won't be retrograded to the level of a simple soldier. We are n hero at the same level than most leader are/was. But our character don't want to do politics, etc.
Whatever it is I hope it's not a secret society. Secret societies are too worlkocky.
I was actually at the class and systems Q&A in the Darkmoon Faire area of Blizzcon (not broadcast on the virtual ticket), where they discussed a lot of class changes. Craig Amal hinted heavily that Mages would be working with the Guardians of Tirisfal during the Q&A, and I managed to ask him a few questions afterwards, too.
Yes, it is the Guardians, but there will be two factions: one is the group we're familiar with, and the second is a splinter group that was established during Aegwynn's long tenure as Guardian, to counter her power. We've not heard of this second group before, and Amal didn't let slip anything about how we'll be working together.

We might in fact not work together at all. It seem that there's a split between Jaina and Kadgarh and what you explain might go along that line.
It can be that politics and personnals problem stop the process to etablish a new guardian and we have to work with the secret counter-part to do the job.
Another possibility is that a guardian have been empowered but something have gone wrong. We are here to save the world. I can hear some old god wispering from here. No?
