It doesn't sound like the state of the sundered at that time was such that the unsundered thought they could work with them. Plus, I'm sure they were still in shock at what happened.
I'm pretty sure this was also what Hermes thought of the Ancients. Oblivious to their imperfection etc.

Hermes decided to judge all the Ancients based on his own arbitrary standards, and Emet-Selch later decided to judge all the Sundered (including his own comrades like the Sundered Ascians and Lahabrea) by his own arbitrary standards.
