Cadsuane is the highest ranking sister outside the hall

The theory has been posted before: it has been suiggested that Cadsuane leads the AS that are distirubted in Randland and who neither support the Tower nor the rebels. I just found this part in ACoS, chapter 'Diamonds and Stars, page 381, which seems to support the theory. Apologies if this quote has been cited before. "On her way out of the Sun Palace, Cadsuane studied the Aiel wilders she saw as well as she could without being obvious. Corele and Daigan followed her in silence; they knew her well enough by now not to disturb her with chatter, WHICH COULD NOT BE SAID OF ALL THOSE WHO PAUSED A FEW DAYS AT ARILYN'S LITTLE PALACE BEFORE SHE SENT THEM ON." so this passage seems to be very much in favour of the theory, if one accepts that THOSE WHO PAUSED are other AS. Clearly Cadusane commands them and sends them around.
She doesn't need to lead them to order them around. Most Aes Sedai will obey Cadsuane out of habit, and I guess she didn't want other Aes Sedai hanging around and messing up her plans.
The sisters who are distributed in Randland (shudder) don't seem to have any kind of organisation at all. Please don't let that one come back to bite me!
