Well there's not much else that could be done before the Zero Squad arrived. The only things that could have really happened is possibly Renji waking up and the things that come from that. The Royal Guard had to come quickly because 1. Soul Society is in shambles, 2.CC is dead and they have no leadership, and 3. They don't know when the Vandenreich are going to attack again.
