How is that so hard to get? Think of an army, or even the USA. You have Chiefs of individual villages, like Indra was to Ton DC. They answer to leaders of Clans, which (probably) was Anya to The Woods Clan. And they answer to the commander, who's Lexa. Just like in an army, there are Liuetenants, colonels, generals, and a very top leader. The hierarchy is obvious.

Indra said the Ice Nation and the Woods clan was at war before, and Gustus said that "Lexa was the Coalition". Obviously, Lexa united the clans, so now they answer to her. That was obviously a struggle, that's why Costia was captured tortured, and killed, and THEN Lexa united them anyway, even though they killed her girlfriend. And writers have confirmed, that she is the commander of the 12 clans.

Obviously, there can be power struggles, just like Lincoln mentioned that they would kill her for being weak, and there would/will be political struggles when they get to know that the threat of the Mountain Men is gone, but for now, she is the leader of them all.
