Braid Bay Tree And Prune To Round Shape

Question

Hello I bought a young bay tree and would like to braid the stems or at least shape it to a ball shape. The problem is that there are many branches coming from the soil, so I’m not sure how to make it one main stem so I can prune it. Should I separate the branches ? Cut them if they are connected and leave only one or two in the pot? Thank you !
