I don't really remember what episode it was, where it was stated that, long ago, the Firelord was the leader (and most powerful member) of the Fire Sages, and that they as a group ruled the Fire Nation. Then the Firelord started becoming more and more powerful and finally  detached himself from the Fire Sages and became the sole leader of the Fire Nation, while the Fire Sages remained just a council of sages.
