I wouldn't be so sure that all BS members are fodder-level. Remember Grimoire Heart for example. They also had loads of fodder, but they also had the Seven Kin of Purgatory. Same goes for Tartarus and if you take their sub-guilds like Harpyria into consideration even for Oracion Seis.

Maybe the elite mages/S-Class mages just didn't feel like showing themselves just because of a bit of rustle outside and the Guild Master was just there by chance or was pissed off because of the noise.

I certainly have trouble believing that the guild master alone with just a bunch of fodder would have been able to destroy two entire towns and a complete wizard's guild. Not that Red Lizard seemed particularly skilled or powerful either, but still with just fodder and the master it'd still be difficult to say the least.
