Now I don't remember everything so please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty the Prophet of Truth was planning to replace the Elites with the Brutes for a while before Halo 2.
It's definitely possible the Brutes were given orders to get rid of the Elites once things calmed down on Earth which they did after Mercy or Regret (I don't remember which) left.
Also it was said in Halo 2 it was a small amount of Covenant that came to attack Earth at first so it's possible the Brutes wiped out the Elites, or at least most of them, by the time the Rookie wakes up.
You are correct, it is implied at the end of First Strike, before Halo 2.
