The Hist called almost every Argonian back to Black Marsh, commanded them to fight against the Daedra, and the next thing that happened was that Dagon had to close the Oblivion Gates in Black Marsh because Argonians were literally storming the Deadlands.

The Hist would do the same thing if the AD would try to invade Black Marsh. You forget, though, that the Hive Mind can be corrupted by enemies, if they are so inclined. (The Novels mess with headcanon, but they still ARE canon. At least, I think they are supposed to be? They mention a tonne of stuff that happened prior to Skyrim, anyways).
