Swineherd swimming in Pigs?

So, a friend and I where talking about Swineherd and we both read the Piglets! ability and came to two different interpretations. 

So the ability reads as such:

"At the start of each session, after the Prologue, this character may make a TN 8 Husbandry Challenge to gain a single subordinate Piglet (pg. 161), plus one subordinate Piglet per Margin of Success, up to a maximum number of subordinate Piglets equal to her total completed ranks in this Pursuit (minimum 1 Piglet).

These Piglets remain under this character’s control indefinitely (or at least, until they’re killed). This character can command a subordinate Pig with the (1) Order Action."


Our interpretations differed on what your max number of subordinates are.  
Do you gain 1 Pig plus 1 per margin with a cap of your Pursuit ranks at the start of each session, with no cap on how many you have following you in total?

-or-

Do you gain 1 Pig plus 1 per margin at the start of each session with a cap on the total pigs you have following you equal to your ranks in the pursuit?


Hasn't really come up in play, but we both read it differently and would like to konw which is proper.  Thanks!

The maximum number of Piglets the character can have is equal to her total completed ranks in the Pursuit.
