I have a little theory here:
The Gorosei see humans as insects and have demonic features.
Their summoning circle is a pentagram and could be a symbol for magic but what if there’s a deeper meaning behind it.
Many people think that this star is a satanic symbol but they’re wrong, it’s an ancient sign which was used as a sign of life and connections. Satanist's use an inverted pentagram as their symbol.
This being said, we learned that the Gorosei can use some kind of telepathy and summon each other. What if they were one being and split into 5 to support Imu better.
It would be a little like Vegapunk and his Androids.
They have one mind and one soul, this is why they can talk with each other from any distance.
Why would they split into five? Probably to hide Imu's identity as the single ruler.
The sole purpose of the empty throne is a cover up Imu's influence as the only ruler of the world and it would be contradicting if the Gorosei would rule over the WG/world as one being.
The pentagram is a symbol of connections, as I mentioned above but it’s also a symbol for a (human) being
It would make sense if they were once one being and split into 5. You could add the demonic/yokai theme and say that they were the first Demon or Demon King of this world.
Imu was a priest, maybe he summoned a demon/Satan/Demon King.
I want to add another thought
What if they were once 6 Gorosei and one betrayed them. The pentagram is a 5 pointed star but it has also one area in the middle.
This area could symbolise the "heart" of the being and Nika would be perfect candidate for it
He betrayed Imu and the other Gorosei and they erased him from history
It would be great plot twist
This scene would get another layer because all 6 of them would be together again
