Most of the imperial logistics must have been destroyed, the informants killed, the messengers captured. The Dominion was in their capital! They couldn't know crap. I would do the same thing in this kind of situation. look at hammerfell, they fended off the dominion on their own.

the great war started in hammerfell, they tried to take it and then attacked cyrodiil to split the imperial forces in hammerfell, if they had more forces why wouldn't they instead attack hammerfell with some of those forces that are left over?

all they had left is what they had in hammerfell and what they had defending their cities from bandits and the like, if the empire had pressed on and helped hammerfell instead of trying to give half of it away they could have won the entire war, instead of surrendering when they could have won and pretending they came out on top.
