You're still too attached to this concept of a "main battle". Until you abandon it, you will not formulate a workable plan. You seem to have two objectives: 1) to get some PvP 2) to kill a faction leader. These objectives are mutually exclusive.
Having a "main battle" anywhere in the world at the same time you're attacking the faction leader is negative to your efforts simply because it creates a pool of Horde defenders who deliberately went PvP to respond to your attacks, and are therefore ready to respond to any other attacks. A quick Portal: TB and they're all over your raid party. Wipe. You want most of the Horde in instances or in battlegrounds or doing anything but being in a raid group, ready to take a portal and move as a unit to defend.
Having a "main battle" in the actual city you're attacking is even worse because it damages your efforts in two ways. Firstly, it stresses out the zone server even worse, afflicting your assassination team and everyone in the zone with extreme levels of lag. When everyone's lagging, the faction leader becomes even harder to kill, because it's a mob and isn't affected by lag. Secondly, it alerts the Horde to the fact that something is happening in Thunder Bluff, and anyone with two brain cells to rub together will think to check on Cairne just in case. You don't want Horde there.
If you want to kill a faction leader, you want as little PvP as possible. Get in, kill the leader, and get out before anyone realizes that you were there. That's the only thing that does work; the only thing, given the rules of the game, that can work.
