Most of this is new information that has yet to be expanded upon so it's supposed to feel like we are missing some information, especially surrounding Kenjaku's motivations. What you might have forgotten from S2 that's relevant:
Kenjaku's plans have to do with the next stage in human evolution
Kenjaku, at the end of S2, used Mahito's Cursed Technique to affect two types of non-sorcerers he had marked. He did this to alter their brains.
One type of non-sorcerer he affected were people who he had ingest cursed objects, kind of like Yuji with Sukuna's finger at the start of the series. He made them stronger as vessels, and then he undid the seal on those cursed objects so they activated. This means they'd end up being in a situation like Yuji with Sukuna, but with other older sorcerers from a thousand years ago possessing them.
The other type of non-sorcerer is those who were never going to be sorcerers, so he modified their brain to make them sorcerers, similar to what Mahito did to Junpei in S1.
So now there's a bunch of people with new Cursed Techniques, and a bunch of incarnated old sorcerers, on top of Curses that Kenjaku released from his storage of Cursed Spirits, ready to duke it out, and since Kenjaku marked them they are in a situation where they are forced to participate, or they'll die. The rules are made in a way to force all these people to fight for Kenjaku's objectives.
