Franmalth went along with Silver out of fear, not out of respect or due to authority.

When someone has whipped your ass in the past and you know he can snuff out your life at his choosing, you'll probably be afraid of that being, no matter the race, rank or anything else. With Silver being said to eat the souls of devils, it wouldn't surprise me if he was able to kill other Demons/Devils permanently, without them being able to reincarnate.

But the other points do make sense. That makes it more interesting to watch what will happen.
