I feel as if a cultivator who has a child will probably put things on hold, retire, or not be part of a sect.

[He really wasn't sure. Of course there were stories where cultivators had children and they too were raised among the disciples, or the stories of a couple breaking off on their own. But... raising families weren't exactly part of the fantasy.]

But, I suppose if someone had a child within a section then that child would also be a child of the sect. It's not as if we are celibate so... I suppose potential children is always a possible outcome. And, there are no rules you can't get married....
