If the Stormcloaks win the war Ulfic is high king moot or not. In the moot, the Jarls of all the holds choose their high king. Soooo after Ulfric wins the moot would be made up of Jarls who supported him in the first place, and Jarls who recently recived their new positions from Ulfric. His "waiting for the moot" is just a ploy to try and make him look legitimate.
