So, I don't think Nael's troops will swear allegiance to a new leader, the 7th Legion may be disbanded entirely.

A community manager also wrote that the japanese version of FFXIV didn't use the word "legatus" or "legion", it's only the result of the english adaptation. I think the german word was different too. It's probably better not to think over the accuracy of the Legatus system.
It was only Nael's legion which was loyal to him. Because he was some sort of spiritual leader.

The system in which each legion is divided is pretty specific...

And if we know 2 legatus, and each has 1 legion, it wouldn't be crazy to say (regardless of the word they are using to refer to them) that its 1 legatus = 1 legion.

And since SE posted there are 14 legions, we are deducing each has one leader. Thus, 14 legatus.
