What was the primary concern for the missouri statehood question?

The primary concern was related to the number of congressmen from free and slave states. If Missouri was admitted into the Union as a slave state, the congress would have more Southerners than Northerners in the congress which would be bad for slaves everywhere. Northerners therefore asked that if Missouri enters as a slave state, Maine has to be separated and enter as a free state.
