The Flood Revolution is coming...
When Regret's ship made the jump and left most of the city destroyed, the Elites were still the main protectors of the Prophets so it's only right that they are not there when a Prophet leaves. The Brutes did not take over as the main protectors until after the death of Regret was declared a failure by the Elites. After Regret's death, the Arbiter is sent on a mission and upon completion, Tartarus reveals that they planned for him to die. Then the alliance between the Humans and the Elites begins.
So while the plan to get rid of the Elites by the Prophets may have already been in motion or thought of before Regret's death, they did not let it be known so early. The Elites were the protectors, the Brutes were under them.
