The Allied Shinobi Forces would not have many members, but even an ordinary member would be an elite Jonin from one of the villages.
As Shikaku Nara had said, aside from Jonin, ordinary Ninja did not even qualify to appear before Akatsuki.
That was simply how vast the gap in strength was.
Especially after successive deadly battles, every remaining member of Akatsuki was a ruthless fighter.

"Then put them in Warehouse Thirty-Three. That warehouse is big enough. It
