clannishly
With exclusive loyalty
In a clannish manner—showing strong loyalty to one's own group while excluding outsiders.
The word carries connotations of insularity and suspicion toward those not belonging: The old families clannishly guarded their social circles, They clannishly refused to share information with the new hires.
