So Seven Guardians of Light and Thirteen Seekers of Darkness. I know there are countless threads of this already.
But Xehanort says the 13 seekers and the 7 guardians will fight to forge the X-Blade once again. The X-Blade is the counterpart to Kingdom Hearts that can protect it as well as unlock it by itself. But according to Yen Sid, no one really knows of this.
So back to the point, the X-Blade was split into 7 princesses of heart.
So if the 7 Guardians are:
Sora
Riku
Mickey
Lea
Aqua
Ven
Kairi
(Some are debatable, but let's focus on Kairi)
If Kairi is a Guardian of Light, but as well as a princess, the battle would make more sense. In my opinion, the Princesses of Heart will probably lend their powers (from the original X-Blade) to their "Guardians" and in a sense, evening out the battle.
Then figuratively, it would be like a 13 vs 13 battle. Of course, since Kairi is a princess of heart, she doesn't need the extra power given by the Princess of Hearts. So she herself would have the power of a Guardian as Well as a fragment of the X-Blade.
I think this is what Nomura was doing, because 7 and 13 are huge motifs in the story. And it would only make sense if he did something like this.
