While I'm fully expecting Garlemald to sooner or later retaliate, if only to avoid seeming weak, I'd honestly be kinda surprised if we saw much of the total army being deployed, since as AngaratoSvartberg said, Garlemald in all likelyhood has quite a few enemies beyond just Eorzea, but from what I recall Hien also mentioned he'll be sending out shinobis to the other occupied nations, with the expressed purpose of spreading the news of Doma and Ala Mhigo's liberation. In effect, quite possibly spawning even more rebellions, since we dont really have a reason to believe the other nations are being treated much better, and they now have proof that it can be done. That the empire's army is not invincible.

So not only would the empire be leaving themselves open, if they comitt too many legions to retaliating for our move on Ala Mhigo and Doma. But they'd also risk loosing control over even more territory, as the people rise up against them
