After entering Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed the ninja forces, then led the four Kage to their accommodations in Konoha.
A Kage was still a Kage, someone on the same level as Hiruzen Sarutobi.
And now that they were allies, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that, out of respect, he should personally receive them as the Hokage.
Before leaving, however, Hiruzen Sarutobi specifically reminded Mu Yue to visit the Hokage's Office at four in the afternoon. He did not explain what it was about.
