The Torah-learning was at a level of extremely high activity. Sages such as Hillel, Shammai, Rabban Yochanan and hundreds of others, each had hundreds and sometimes thousands of disciples. Rabbi Akiva began his career during this century and had 24 thousand pupils before the close of the century. Rabban Yochanan had so many disciples that they had to learn outdoors since no building was big enough.
There were some antagonistic groups, but they were minorities and had no influence on the vast majority, who sympathized with the Torah sages.
