When Vaan exited the Grand Hall of Knowledge, he found a million rehabilitated disciples waiting outside. Most of them came from the Grand Hall of Dilemma, while only a small minority arrived from other Hall of Dilemmas.
Of course, none of them had been truly idle while they were camping outside of the Grand Hall of Knowledge.
Some rehabilitated disciples sat in meditative postures and cultivated with their limited resources, while others studied knowledge saved on their electronic tablets.
In this era of technology, it was normal for disciples to carry their entire collection of knowledge on a single smart device. It was far superior to possessing an interspatial artifact holding mountains of physical books and scrolls.
After all, it was both inefficient and inconvenient to search for specific materials within such a large collection.
