That's why in Season 2/3 when they figured the Avatar was dead - it was safe to continue with their plan. They may have known via the Fire Sages that if an Avatar dies during the Avatar State, the avatar is no more. But even if they didn't and assumed the Avatar was reborn a Waterbender - a baby sure isn't going to get in the way of dominating the Earth Kingdom with the comet's power.
