That means any faction exclusively made in New Japan prior to 2020, is now disbanded and gone. An end of an era for sure. Chaos merging into Hontai, Naito departing and LIJ being disbanded (sort of), Tanahashi retiring and Bullet Club disbanding within the span of a year is crazy.
(Hontai doesn't count since they're technically not a faction, but just a place for the factionless to go)
