From my vantage point the "blended brothers" emerged in a slightly different manner. They banded together for sure, but being already prominent & well known signers of the 1986 pledge of loyalty to WL, these leaders simply fulfilled their vows to WL - till death do us part.

Others who were uncomfortable (or terrified) with the idea of meeting elsewhere simply tagged along in tow behind the new corporate version of Lee. Thus WL's ministry was not allowed to experience a natural death.

There is of course also a spiritual component to Lee's "continuation" since the intelligent forces in the second heavens (likely those same evil entities who enabled Lee to steamroller whistleblowers) still find the Lord's Recovery useful in their plan to keep seeking believers trapped in a state of perpetual infancy.

P.S.
