The board of directors comprise the San Qing/三清, the Three Pure Ones.
They comprise the Great Primordial aka Yuan Shi Tian Jun/元始天尊, who created Heaven and Earth, the Lord of the Sacred Treasure aka Ling Bao Tian Jun/灵宝天尊, who created time, and Lord Lao Zi aka Tai Shang Lao Jun/太上老君, who expounded the Way to the people.
Their involvement with the world is now minimal, as they have largely relegated its management to the Jade Emperor and the other deities.
When some people refer to the Heavenly Emperor/天公, they mean the Great Primordial rather than the Jade Emperor.
Pictured below are (from left to right) Lord Lao Zi, the Great Primordial and the Lord of the Sacred Treasure.
So, they are the ones who started everything? They comprise the Great Primordial aka Yuan Shi Tian Jun/元始天尊, who created Heaven and Earth, the Lord of the Sacred Treasure aka Ling Bao Tian Jun/灵宝天尊, who created time, and Lord Lao Zi aka Tai Shang Lao Jun/太上老君, who expounded the Way to the people.

Are these based on folklore or were they revealed during trances, etc?
