The next quote, which I found infinitely more important due to the information that we were subtly given, IMO:

The rebel army was poised, but uncertain. Over fifty thousand strong,
it camped in a massive ring of tents around the smaller camp of Aes
Sedai. There was a tight perimeter between the inner camp and the
outer one, a perimeter that had most recently been intended to exclude
men, particularly those who could wield saidin.

It's the final sentence that contains information of import. We're told several things in that simple sentence, or at least it's hinted to us: 1) The rebels have clearly bonded Asha'man, 2) those Asha'man are being kept in the outer camp, and 3) they are not allowed into the inner camp with the Aes Sedai. The "tight perimeter" between the inner and outer camp is there specifically for the Asha'man the rebels bonded...to keep them out because they aren't trusted. So now we know the rebels got their men. We also know that the Reds got more, though we don't know how many, and, since the Reds intended to keep their Warders in the city, they are set apart as well.
