The reason Zhou Tian didn't retreat when he could is precisely for this moment. Due to his understanding of the Divinity factions' style in the Divine Realm, Zhou Tian had anticipated this behavior from the start. Now that the Divinity factions are acting as he expected, Zhou Tian doesn't need to do anything else; he just needs to wait for those deities to cause him trouble and eliminate them all. This way, Zhou Tian will have profited greatly from his invasion into the Divine Realm.
Therefore, since Zhou Tian initially intended to eliminate those deities by staying, he doesn't concern himself much with those incoming deities. According to the situation at the time, once those deities took action, Zhou Tian would quickly strike against them.
