"And where is Crime Sorciere? Why aren't the "Zeref-hunters" right at the fore-front of the fight against the Zeref cult?"

Well i guess with members like Goumon, they might have deemed Avatar to small of a threat and perhaps can be dealt with even by the Council, majority of them are merely fodders anyway. Plus Avatar was under the impression that their actions will bring forth Zeref when it most likely won't. Also their so called "ritual" is just like a mobbing, it's not even a proper plan made by a proper organization. It's just a waste of time, informing the Council would be a more effective way of dealing with them.
