Who is the head here?"

Are you quoting Brother Née or are you quoting Lily Hsu?

If Née, please provide the reference and let's have a look.

Drake
Here we go Drake.

Nee and the Shanghai church, by Lily Hsu: “In these meetings, Nee repetitively affirmed the authority of the church. He had always emphasized the church authority, but now he focused more on delegated authority. He said: In the body the first thing we have to learn is to find those whom we have to submit ourselves to. We must know those who are ahead of us. All the authorities in the Bible are deputy authorities and not direct authorities.

"As long as there is the ministry, there is authority….The head manifests itself as the head by its ideas and proposals".

Reference
10. “The Exercise of Authority in the Body and the Body-consciousness,” in The Resumption of Watchman Nee’s Ministry, CWWN Vol. 57, Chap. 24, Sect. 2.10.

Who is the head here? To whom was Nee directing the co-workers attention?
