The Kirin Tor may be part of the Alliance, but it is also an independent faction. Jania is the defacto leader, but that does not stop other members of the Council of Six engaging in their own affairs regardless of political allegiance, examples being Khadgar and Archmage Modera who aid both Horde and Alliance freely.

The same can be said of the Earthen Ring. Thrall never stepped down as leader of the Earthen Ring, he simply said to Vol'jin that if he were to lead the Horde, that he would follow.

Again, the main leaders are the leaders of the two factions (Varian and Thrall), or factions with independent natures. The secondary leaders are the racial leaders within each faction. Your character may choose to have more loyalty to one or the other, but that doesn't place them higher than the main leaders in regards to ultimate authority over faction matters.
