The only leaders of Herul (that have any real power at all) are the 5 overlords/generals. There aren't really any "powerful" politicians, all loyalists who serve on the courts. There is a bare minimum of civilian Heruls, most of them are in the army, because they are all male and drafted. The ones who stay on Herul, to maintain cities and stuff, are the civilians, but they are still trained loyal soldiers. There are Colonels and Captains but they get direct orders from the Generals, so they don't really have power at all (sometimes the men in their regiments don't even know who their leader is). So the entire army are loyalists; but, like Frieza did with Saiyans, you never know when a mutated or bad egg will come up.

Besides, having a smaller army means less to maintain. But Heruleans reproduce constantly, so their numbers can go up billions in less than a year.
