My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: CA

I am planning to leave my current company, and may end up in a legal dispute with them after i leave over unpaid wages/commissions. Upon telling my boss (VP who i have a good relationship with) that i am likely going to go to company X pretty soon as a courtesy, he disclosed that he is going to company Y and we would be competing against one another. He suggested that I speak with his prospective new employer so maybe we can work together. I have offers from both company X and Y.

I am wondering if my boss has signed a non-solicit agreement with our current employer, would how this went down maybe be a breach of this and if so, would the breach only be on him since i cannot solicit myself to leave? Typically they only cover your soliciting someone else, not conspiring to have someone else solicit you - and we really didnt conspire either, as i was going to leave anyway hence the offer from the other company...
