Addressing a gathering on Sunday, Uddhav admitted that seat distribution was a complicated affair.
"Party workers have given me authority to take a decision and I'll do it with responsibility, keeping everything in mind," Uddhav said.
"We need power to serve the people and we will get it," he said.
"Many faces have been unmasked during polls time, have taken a decision, will announce it soon," Uddhav said.

Meanwhile, the BJP core committee is meeting in Delhi to discuss the seat-sharing issue after the party rejected Shiv Sena's offer of 125 seats.
The Shiv Sena had proposed to contest 155 seats, leaving 125 for BJP, while the remaining of state's 288 seats would go to the smaller allies.
On Saturday, BJP state unit chief Devendra Fadnavis met Uddhav Thackeray and informed him about the state BJP core committee's decision on Sena's proposal regarding seat-sharing. He also submitted a fresh proposal to Sena on seat allocation.
"I told Uddhavji that Sena's proposal on quantum of seat sharing is not acceptable to us. We will wait for the Sena's reaction. Our core committee feels that if we accept the Sena's proposal on seat sharing, we will be left fighting for even a lesser number of seats than what we had fought during the last elections," Fadnavis told reporters outside Matoshree after the meeting.
The other two major players in the state Congress and NCP are also fighting over seats as they try to keep the alliance going.
