Yes, exactly this. The three castes were equal, with 3 each. When Neroon joined, it became 4 warrior, 2 religious, and 3 worker. Then, the majority 5 of them (the religious and workers) walked out with Delenn, which effectively disbanded the Grey Council.

Delenn's innovation was to give the worker caster more power with five seats, whereas she gave religion and war two seats each. (Or glowy spotlights if not seats, they don't seem to like sitting or lying down). And yeah, whenever I do a B5 rewatch it's crazy how relevant the messages are to the present, particularly in terms of politics and geopolitics. The horrors of civillian death, danger of bad leaders - it's a well thought out show. I love that take - that Sheridan has a little bit of the Vorlons in him - He seems to "make the hard decisions" which always amounts to him alone deciding what's right. (Though I'm totally on board here).
