When the Greybeards do speak to the Dragonborn, such as when they greet them post-initiation, and the initation itself, it merely causes the ground to shake. It's not like they're going to topple entire armies by causing the earth to rumble.

There is no doubting the power of the Greybeards, however to claim that they can decimate military forces such the Imperial Legion or the Aldmeri Dominion is just the sheerest folly. If one Greybeard can shake a whole mountain with a whisper what do you think all four of them and Paarthurnax can do? I think the Thalmor are mildly scared because the Greybeards would basically destroy their whole army (if need be). Lucky for the Thalmor the Greybeards are pacifistic old men who live in seclusion :p Thuum is useless if you slit their throats and cut their vocal cords. Tiber Septim learned that the hard way. A bunch of old men who never entered a battlefield won't expect highly trained assassins slitting their throats in their sleep. Paarthuux may prove challenging but dragons can be killed like any other, as the Dragonborn knows. If the Dominion was smart, decimating the Grey Beards will be easy considering how small their numbers are.

Actually Alduin could come and resurect his brother Parthurnaax and since the Thalmor aren't dragonborn they can't kill Parthurnaax completely not only that, the Greybeards would hear the Thalmor army coming up the mountain and coming through the doors cause of how loud it would be so yea good luck trying to kill the Greybeards, I tried and they kept freezing me so imagine what they could do to the Thalmor army.
