A question about Wizards - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I know this information is probably in the Silmarillion, but I haven't read it (and it's a bit difficult to find right now), so I'll ask you guys here [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

If there are only five wizards, and they're high up in the godly echelon, why do they need a leader for their order? Or is Saruman the leader of the Wise, and not only the Wizards? Or something else? Like, he's really the Wizards' spokesman for the Wise?
