Does persuasion do anything when levelling companions?

Right so I've been playing m&b for almost two years and taken over the world a couple of times so I'm pretty familiar with the game (I play on console don't kill me I can't afford a PC).

I've got around 5 companions all with skills that help me out besides one who is too low of a level to really add anything useful so I normally just jack up their persuasion skill even though it's a personal skill

Because of this I always use them to relay messages to other kingdoms/tell other lords to gather near me when I'm marshal

So I'm just wondering, does the persuasion skill affect this? Do more lords turn up if I use them to rally lords to me/are kings more likely to make peace if I send them as an emissary?
