In the recent translation they described the Bael clan (or maybe it was just the first head of the Bael clan) as the shadows supporting the Underworld. So while the maou's help govern the underworld from the public point of view, they are more pillars of strength whilst the Bael clan keeps this new world from falling apart whilst keeping in the old traditions.
