The Thalmor, from what we know, stayed in their Crystal Tower, and put on a big show, and claimed responsibility for the gates being closed in Summerset Isles, after Martin closed the gates using the Amulet of Kings. (Incidentally... the Amulet of Kings plays a part in the main storyline in ESO). They didn't only get "involved", the An-Xileel actually made the Daedra close the Oblivion Gates because they were literally FLOODING the Deadlands.

Correct. Dagon had to close the gates in fear that they were going to completely take over.
