It sounds like you're looking for something like this:
SELECT leader_id, count(*) as count
FROM user_associations x
WHERE exists
(
SELECT * FROM user_associations y
WHERE y.follower_id = x.follower_id
AND y.leader_id = 321
)
GROUP BY leader_id
;

I don't really know what that means. In the future, it would make
things easier on those who are trying to help if you either post the
SQL form or go into psql and type `\d tablename`.
