A coupled-channel approach including the ΛcD¯(*) and ηcp channels in addition to the Σc(*)D¯(*) and J/ψp channels, as required by unitarity and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS), is applied to the hidden-charm pentaquark Pc states, i.e., Pc(4312), Pc(4440) and Pc(4457), discovered by LHCb Collaboration. It is demonstrated that to obtain cutoff independent results, the one-pion exchange potential in the multichannel systems is to be supplemented with next-leading order counter terms responsible for the S-wave-to-D-wave transitions. We show that the experimental data for the J/ψp mass distributions are fully in line with the ΣcD¯ and ΣcD¯* hadronic molecular interpretation of the Pc(4312) and Pc(4440)/Pc(4457), respectively. A narrow Σc*D¯ molecule around 4.38 GeV is required by the HQSS with the evidence for its existence seen in the J/ψp spectrum. Moreover, we predict the line shapes for the elastic and inelastic channels.
