We have to remember that this is going to be a war. This is the opening battle. Yes, it does look like its going really fast right now but its likely just starting with a bang like most wars do. Though the Gotei 13 plays a large role, we need to remember that they are the military. They are prepared to fight wars. At the end of this battle, one side will be forced to retreat. Remember that Kubo said the situation will become dire enough that the Royal Guard has to step in. Based on the way this is going, it looks like this will be a long, bloody war of many conflicts.
