Not to mention that Rufus ONLY said it was a life for a life...It never said that there has to be seven acolytes. Only 7 was needed for the 7 in the society. If only Mr. Sweet and Victor Jr. drank elixir from the Cup of Ankh, they would need 2 acolytes to become immortal. If only Victor drank from the Cup, then there would only be a need for one acolyte. Hey, even 2000 people could drink elixir from the cup and become immortal ASSUMING there are 2000 respective acolytes.

And I think the scales of life only serve a purpose of the flow of life from young to old. I mean, even though Victor and the other teachers were on the other ends of the scale, they couldn't have necessarily been the way the life flowed from the young to the old. If it weren't so, why would Rufus Zeno still want to pursue immortality if his name isn't on one of the scales? He only had his name on the scales until he betrayed the secret society to seek eternal life on his own. It doesn't seem like Rufus to beat a dead horse!
