An observation: I won't characterize JY or LYS's sects as Triads but GL's sects are surely modelled after Triads or Mafias. GL had friends and enemies in the Triads and he even got famously hacked once.
If you read a work like Meteor, Butterfly, Sword, you will get what I mean. Lao Bo is just like a Triad chief, the kind of loyalty the sect expects fron its members is similar too.

@machete the phrase you're looking for is 退出江湖 tuichu jianghu "to resign/remove oneself from jianghu". Would 退出 translating to “withdraw from” a bit too direct? Anyway, I think in real life, it is quite difficult to withdraw oneself from the triads/secret society once one gets involved in it. But my comment deviates from the topic posed by the tread starter. "withdraw from" also works! though, as you say, easier said than done!
