First of all, we don't know for sure who is going to be left behind, that summary of MoA can be interpreted in more ways than one. We know for certain that something big is going to happen between the two camps, my main problem is how. How is it possible for a fight to start if there are no other Greeks on the Argo II? Are the Romans going to attack the Greeks? Are the Greeks going to attack the Romans? Are they going to meet halfway and attack each other? Also, for what reason? They have greater things to worry about than picking fights with each other and I'm also curios how Annabeth will be able to solve everything.

As for the PoVs, one must be from a person that was left behind otherwise we won't know what's going to happen in the two camps, logically. It seems that the MoA focuses more on the Greeks and Romans rather than the quest to stop Gaea. Thus, I for one think and hope that the PoVs will indeed belong to Annabeth, Percy, Jason and Reyna. That way RR can easily keep track of everything that's going on both on the Argo II and the camps.

Lastly I want to add that all this complaining about how many PoVs are there and by which character is getting ridiculous. I'm sure everyone will find a way to read the book and enjoy it. The main point is the story, it hardly matters if it skips from one place to another since I'm pretty sure that RR will do a good job in writing it properly.
