This is a huge point. Witness Lee knew very well that certain people were ascribing all sorts of lofty (and unbiblical) titles to him. It's like the term "Apostle". Lee vehemently denied in public that he considered himself as an apostle, or that he encouraged anyone to consider him as an apostle. He even went so far as to purger himself during one of the legal depositions when he was asked directly about being considered an apostle. Not many years after this, certain leading brothers were directly and strongly declaring Lee to be "an apostle of the first kind" like Peter or Paul. This was done while Lee was still alive and he did NOTHING to stop them, in fact, he encouraged them and promoted the ones who were the most vocal and militant about Lee's authority and right of apostleship over the entire Local Church Movement.
