Well, they don't know about the Cabal, so far as I know (they know the Hood works for him, but not any of the others), so that really can't factor into their plans one way or another.
The only heroes who know about the Cabal are the Agents of Atlas (who have a vague idea about it) and presumably now at least some of the X-Men (Namor and Emma would obviously be able to supply the X-Men's leadership with plenty of information).
