The base of operations of the Autobot High Council is the Metroplex.
The ruling Magnus holds the chairbotship, and correspondingly sits in the highest seat. To his left sits the head of all of the civilian guilds, representing the non-military portion of the council; and to his right sits the head of Cybertron Intelligence.
Other seats are visible in the council chamber, and while it is unknown whether they have any permanent occupants, Perceptor has a seat on the council, presumably representing the Ministry of Science. Decepticon Air.
Otherwise, Sentinel Prime and Jazz of the Cybertron Elite Guard were once seen to attend in one of the lowest areas, but they had specific business and may not hold positions on the council. TransWarped
While Sentinel Prime was technically the pro tempore Magnus following Ultra Magnus's injuries, the High Council made it clear they did not recognise his authority. They were later forced to due to the public support for Sentinel after he displayed Decepticons other people had captured for him his Decepticon captives.
Sentinel Prime views the Council as being incompetent bureaucrats, but he's a jerk and they'd snubbed him when he said that, so it's probably not true. Decepticon Air. He happily ignored them and established government protocol when a Decepticon-controlled Omega Supreme appeared over Cybertron, taking action when they were still discussing options. Since this action could have blown up the planet, they were not happy, and Alpha Trion openly said he'd remove Sentinel from office if he was able. This Is Why I Hate Machines

The Autobot High Council's role was to choose the Primes, the leaders of the Autobots, but observed that many Primes they choose eventually fell to greed and pride. However, they kept a close eye on Optimus, a courageous and wise soldier who inspired those under his command, and who was marked by fate to one day assume the mantle of Prime.
When war raged across Cybertron between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Autobot leader Zeta Prime was defeated and captured by Megatron, who sought Zeta's Omega Key, a device that would gain him access to Cybertron's core as part of the Decepticon plan to infect it with Dark Energon. Despite a daring rescue attempt from the Kaon detention facility by Optimus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Air Raid, Zeta succumbed to his injuries and died.
Optimus brought Zeta's body to the Autobot High Council and begged their guidance in these desperate times. The leader of the Council stated that they existed only to choose Primes, and that it was the Primes who led the Autobots. When Optimus responded that there were no Primes left, the Council leader asked if Optimus would still reject his true calling. The Council said that for too long they have watched the Primes fail in their lofty positions, but Optimus was one leader whose wisdom and courage transformed the lives of those around him. Charging him with the mission to remove the infection of Dark Energon from Cybertron's core, the council bestowed leadership of the Autobots onto Optimus, a burden and responsibility he accepted. The council declared that Optimus was now Optimus Prime, the last Prime. Transformers: War for Cybertron
