I don't think they'd even consider challenging the Captain-Commander, teamed up or not. Like I said, Ichigo literally defies logic, because he's a weird hybrid of everything.

Example: Auswählen kills all impure Quincies. Ichigo survives, despite being much weaker than Ywhach.

Well, to be fair, Uryu survives as well. However, it should be noted that in Ichigo's case, the "memories" in his reiatsu had to be awakened in order for him to be a true Quincy hybrid (he couldn't break Quilge's Jail unless he was a Quincy, pure or otherwise, since the Jail is supposedly unbreakable by non-Quincies), so it could be argued that he wasn't a true Quincy beforehand, thus being unaffected by Yhwach's Auswählen.
