Did you expect anything different? Goddesses are absolute wusses that had to resort to sealing and getting other races involved because they couldn't finish the job themselves. It's the case for many goddess+sealing content in manga. Besides, most people thought the old man was dead anyway so it doesn't really affect them. :P
