After meeting Duryodhana, Krishna returned to the Pandavas and told them to prepare for war, as Duryodhana was not ready for a settlement. A meeting of all the kings who were ready to support the Pandavas was called. The pandavas divided their army into seven regiments. Each regiment was placed under an efficient commander. These were Drupada, Virata, Shikhandi, Chekitana, Bhimasena, Satyaki, and Dhristadyumna. Dhristadyumna was the commander-in-chief. On the Kaurava side, there were warriors like Bhisma, Dronacharya, and Kripacharya. Bhisma agreed to become the commander-in-chief on the condition that he would not kill the Pandavas, only fight with them and that as long as he would fight in the war, Karna would not fight.
