Well, that's why the story is called Epic of "Remnant".

Sherlock, at the end of Shinjuku chapter confirmed that some pillars managed to escape before Goetia met its end. However, he is unsure about how many pillars remains, and their motivation after Goetia plan failed as we know that some pillars aren't supporting Goetia, while some other pillars just follow it.

Baal is Goetia supporter that angered by fact that Goetia is defeated not by Grand Servants, Deities, Spirits, Gods or other high-level beings but by a high-schoolers and bunch of regular servants that his class became Avenger-- and reason why it chose Shinjuku A.D. 1999 (remember that Ritsuka/Gudako is 16/17 years old by start of FGO).
