About the Nine... I think there were only 9 but it doesnt mean that in the past there has only been 9. The Nine are just the 9 avataras that were the leaders of th eLight since the emperor died they took over.
I think the warlocks were not aligned with the Light... maybe with Dark or not aligned since it says:
"Our scouts have brought back news of an odd group of men who have gathered nearby. From their description alone, Twelve Motion recognized them as Warlocks from the Scholomance, ancient allies of The Deceiver and collaborators of the Fallen Lords."
