Incomplete list of things sect leaders get up to in condor heroes, the most famous wuxia ever:

Rip out their disciples tendons in a fit of temper and dump them on the street to fend for themselves

Fuck off to eat delicious food and completely neglect sect affairs and refuse to take any personal disciples until literally like, two months before abdicating and causing a succession crisis thats exploited by an evil 17 year old

Try to steal another sect's manual and get clobbered so hard he spends twenty years in seclusion recovering from his injuries

Fuck off to Mongolia for two years to train a random teenager without a single word of warning or explanation to anybody

Lead them into selling out their country to the imperial forces colonizing them

None of these guys are even portrayed as Evil. Most of them are heroes! Including the tendon ripper!

Going on the record to say that the sect leader who fucks off to eat delicious food is SO so valid. If everyone else in the sect gets exploited by an evil 17-year-old? Skill issue. Not their problem.

“Skill issue” also applies to the one who failed at manuscript thievery. Are they injured-injured, or are they just deeply embarrassed? Smh.
