Well to be exact Zekram is already retired. Sairaorg's father is too much of a shitty leader of the Bael to the point where he still needs to take advice from Zekram which makes him look active. This should stop once Sairaorg or Magdaran takes over.

As for who is stopping the old Devils now. Simple Ajuka. Thanks to Diehauser, the old Devils' standing isn't what it used to be. And once the 7 maou system is implemented we can say that the old Devils would lose even more of their power.
