However, I doubt that out of the 1500 people you're following, that 1400 won't follow you back. Unless if you tell them to do so...

I was thinking more of the short term implications. It's unlikely that all 1500 will follow you back immediately. It could take a few days, a few weeks, or they might never do it! If people click on your profile in this time and see you have hardly any followers and are following loads of people, they're unlikely to follow you in the future, too.
