Basically, you will have to choose between doing a mission for Sabal or a mission for Amita, which will be labeled with a (S) or (A) in the mission name. Picking one will lock you out of doing another, as well as create new objectives in missions following that one. The one you have chosen will lead the Golden Path until the next Balance of Power mission comes.
