I find that more likely to support Zekram's loss of power, if Lord Bael has to ask the prior heads including him for advice, then with their reputation in shambles the way it is right now... Zekram's likely a strong suspect for Bael Clan members who were involved.

Not only has the clan been linked to the two incidents, but Bedeze likely did convince a few people to blame the Bael Clan, and there had to be some Devils who hate them to agree by default. The incident with Diodora likely didn't do any favors to others' trusting them either.

True, Zekram has power and influence, but now his whole clan's under heat and he is partially responsible for putting them there. If even the Satans' acts could lead to serious consequences then he's not any safer in making decisions, if anything goes wrong now it's very likely the Bael Clan will be blamed for it.
