Could you elaborate on which scene you mean? Because I believe you're referring to this:
"Ready, are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained!"
That is not council as in "city council", but counsel as in "judgment". Below is the link:

All that I was saying was that there was a need for a Jedi council. You are right, I misremembered the quote. But I think Yoda and Obi-Wan's interactions, especially when Obi-Wan is trying to convince Yoda to take Luke as an apprentice, really give the impression that the Jedi were an order of individuals.
Here's Yoda coming up with excuses why Luke can't become a Jedi, and Ben says to the impatience argument: "So was I, if you remember." (Obi-wan as a youngling had impatience.)
