Sure he humored them for awhile but anyone on either side who thought they would work well together was living in a dream world! What did he need them for? He's not going to take directives from Witness Lee wannabes 3000 miles away. The division was inevitable.

Titus Chu has supporters around the globe will to back him as the next MOTA. I was told that saints in Taiwan were claiming "Nee-Lee-Chu" after Lee passed.
Titus felt that he was the more spiritual and purer form of the Recovery, and he hoped to one day "clean house" in Anaheim. That is why he stuck around. Sure Lee said some rotten things about Titus, but Titus only viewed that as "fellowship" from a loving father for his perfection, just as supposedly Nee perfected Lee by continually rebuking him.
Once Chicago flip-flopped their allegiance, Benson Philips seized the opportunity to eliminate his rival.
