I get no deal from the group of emissaries (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delegation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group of emissaries' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'i get no deal from' is the wordplay.
'i get no deal' anagrams to 'DELEGATION'.
Though, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for delegation that I've seen before include "representative group" , "Passing over" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
