Anointed Procession does not trigger. It creates a replacement effect.
If any effect were to create a token, Anointed Procession simply doubles the amount of tokens created by that effect. For Anointed Procession 's ability to affect the game, it must be a permanent on the battlefield at the time the effect its replacing resolves.
In stated situation above, Anointed Procession is not on the battlefield at the time it was cast. When you cast Anointed Procession , Sigil of the Empty Throne will trigger and put its effect onto the stack above Anointed Procession . The triggered ability of Sigil of the Empty Throne will resolve first creating the 4/4 white angel creature token with flying. However, because Anointed Procession has not resolved and entered the battlefield, you will not get its replacement effect to double the tokens.
