The fall of a single leader breaks an entire host -- "balaṃ te abhajyata": the spirit of an army rests on a few, and with their death the multitude scatters. It is telling how fragile the strength of hosts is when it leans on the lives of its leaders. The verse teaches that the firmness of a gathering of men lies in its supports: while a few strong ones stand, the whole holds together; let them fall, and the host scatters, for number without a spine is no strength.
