Sanemi and the others had wanted to join the attack, but Gyomei spoke up to stop them.
As before, their goal had never been to kill Muzan at night, but to stall him until dawn.
So, when they had enough people or the fighting was not yet too intense, allocating their fighters sensibly and taking turns was the better choice.
This was also why Kanzaki Kumo had only exchanged a look with Sabito instead of telling everyone else to attack together.
