Mmm, and where it says that there were more elites in Earth after Regret's ship did the jump?
That is speculation too.
I think it is more feasible that the rest of the elites were with Regret's ship. Remember when Cortana says: "I've been analyzing the Covenant tactical chatter. They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not... you and me...all of us... humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet." at almost the end of the level Outskirts.
Even Lord Hood says: "Something's not right... The fleet that destroyed Reach was fifty times this size." in the level "Cairo Station".
If the fleet was such small, why do you think there are still elites after the massacre MC did? Not counting the rest of the UNSC corps. C'mon even a Scarab was destroyed.
Thats why I see reasonable the theory of "The remaining elites are in Regret's carrier while the slip-space event. Then Brutes were sent to Earth to continue" Why elites are with Regret? They are the protectors of the Prophets at that moment. Why the brutes were sent? To continue to attack New Mombasa, as reinforcements. Even in the Halo Uprising comics the Brutes are already attacking.
