It was not unusual however for the jathas to join together when the situation so demanded. Ratan Singh Bhangu, Prachin Panth Prakash, records an early instance of the warrior bands of the Bari Doab land between the Rivers Beas and Ravi being organized into four tummans or squadrons of each, with specified area of operation and provision for mutual assistance in time of need.

In , Zakariya Khan, the Mughal governor of Lahore, having failed to suppress the Sikhs by force, planned to make terms with them and offered them a jagir or fief, the title of Nawab to their leader and unhindered access to and residence at Amritsar. Kapur Singh, a senior and dedicated warrior, was accepted by Sikhs as their leader and invested with the title of Nawab.

Through a gurmata or resolution, the entire fighting force of the Khalsa was unified into a single body, called the Dal Khalsa, under the supreme command of Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluvalia.

The 65 bands were merged into 11 units, misls, each under a prominent leader and having a separate name and banner. The Dal Khalsa was a kind of loose confederacy, without any strict constitution.
