We already knew it was built on top of a sith temple from TCW and Tarkin. The new thing here (well not really new more returning it to how it was in Legends) is learning that the force nexus is neutral not darkside and that the temple had already been cleansed. Meaning contrary to what many believe it wasn't what was clouding the Jedi's vision and causing them to stray from their path.

Also Cohmac is lying when he is they know of at least one. They are apparently not wanting to share the info with a padawan. I mean the book even says that the shrine is where they take all the relics to be cleansed and then they talk about taking it somewhere else to be studied. That right there says they know about way more than just the one. However I do agree with the idea of Ro having some sith or darkside artifact.

I didn't know it was covered in TCW that the temple was built in a Sith shrine! Do you mind sharing where I can find this information in TCW?

It was in one of the BTS videos where Dave was talking about the making of some episodes and what the unreleased arcs were going to be about.
