There are 3 factions that have been in contact with the Gremory team. The Old Maou Faction and the Hero Faction have suffered great loss because they tried to mess or fought with Rias' team.
 * Devils in the upper society are basically scared of Issei since to them, he can't be killed. Wouldn't that be the same with the Old Maou Faction? And ofc, there military capabilities are greatly hindered because they went all out in their last siege in the Underworld, so even if they want to execute some plans, nothing can be done.


 * For the Hero Faction, their core members are either missing or captured. They have no leaders left. Cao Cao is their pillar. Without him, they can't function because they are just SG possessors who are treated as grunts.

With those things in mind. Even if they plot all they want, they can't do a thing to the Gremory team whose powers are greatly recognised in the alliance.

~The Astaroth Clan going over the top just to exact revenge to the Gremory team just because they lost almost all their priveleges? Isn't that caused by Diodora? And even if we toss that thought and say that their pride as Devils are more important, do you think Ajuka won't have a say to that? Even if he's not a part of Astaroth clan, he is still a Maou that came from that house.

~Cooperating with the KB can be considered as a serious treason and the House of Astaroth should be glad that they are still part of the 72 pillars. And they should thank Sirzechs and the Yondai-Maou for that.
