Then Skyrim would be under control of the Thalmor then that would cause das problems such as Aldermerli dominion to expand.

The Legion would only be confused for a short time, and since the Nords are quite capable fighters, they could at least slow the Thalmor Army until the Legion comes to Skyrim. I'm sure that High Rock would also sent some soldiers, since they are next to Skyrim. Hammerfell would also maybe sent soldiers, since the Thalmor could attack Hammerfell or High Rock if they would take Skyrim over.

But there could be a problem. Ulfric is most likely too arrogant to ask the Legion for help if the Thalmor would attack. They can't stop the Thalmor alone.
