The chi-blockers he brought were probably just insurance. He had no intention of fighting Korra at that point, and so had no intention of risking defeat before he could put the rest of his plan in motion. True, it woud've made him a lot more menacing to have faced and beaten Korra alone, but it shows that he's not arrogant, nor is he stupid enough to take unnecessary risks. From a writing perspective, having Korra in a position of vulnerability could humble her and allow her room to grow as a character.
