This section of the Daoist pantheon portrays the three True Lords 真君: Tang Hong 唐宏, Ge Yong 真君, and Zhou Bin 周斌, who served as censors during their mortal years. Their loyal attendants help subjugate the figures at the left and are also compassionate to the common people. Two attendants offer the True Lords covered plates, each containing a miniature reclining figure.
