Teach the followers (5)
I believe the answer is:
train
I believe this is a double definition.
'teach' is the first definition.
(training is a kind of teaching)
'followers' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for train that I've seen before include "become physically fit" , "something along those lines?" , "Form of transport" , "Instruct - exercise" , "Locomotive or part of bride's dress" .)
