After the founding of the order at the beginning of Volume 17, Ringarde and Maryest show up and Arisa states that they are also members and have their own sets of armors, confirming they are indeed members as well. In fact, Satou later mentions how Hayato's entire old hero party has joined during the summary of a timeskip later on.

Of course, with them operating in Saga Empire and helping the Saga Heroes, i.e. Yuuki and Seigi, Satou is more like just their patron than they are actually working under him. As he is supplying the old party with armor and other equipment to help them raid Purple Towers.
