Having the backing of a clan is probably essential as a tribal king.
However, he probably has a proxy (ahem) or tanist to serve on the Clan Ring while he's away -- or he has the Tribal business come to HIM on HIS tula.
But if a tribe has lands which belong to the king (or that 150 cows war-gift that each clan gifts the king with), it probably lets him pay for extra staffing, his wargand, and the like.
