I believe it's very unlikely for Ainz to die, but certainly no impossible.

Why wouldn't he die: 1 - According to Pleiades Day extra chapter, Nazarick's NPCs refuse to destoy items beloging to Ainz, let alone attacking him with killing intention.

2 - According to Volume 10's epilogue, Demiurge believes using Ainz in his plans "It would be a shameful course of action for a subordinate to advise". Meaning he's avoid his best using Ainz in his plans.

3 - Demiurge and the other NPCs' loyalty is unshakeble to the point it's stated on volume 6: "There was no fear of death. To die for Nazarick was a great honour, but the notion of dying as a traitor made Sebas' body shake. For a creation of the 41 supreme beings, dying as a traitor was the greatest shame there could be." which also explains why Shaltear was so ashamed, even knowing she was controlled.

4 - Ainz has a skill that makes weak attacks(basically any attack from any one in this world including a dragon on volume 11, whith a few exceptions like Gazeff's sword), so it's very likely that's the upper level of attacks Demiurge would use as this this level of attack is still unthinkable to the people of this world.

What could kill him he could die:

1 - Another world-level item is used on Ainz.

2 - Demiurge is controlled by a world-level item.

3 - A magic exclusive to this world that has an effect on undead and is aimed at Ainz by Remedios, bypassing Ainz expectations.

4 - Ainz mess up things (again).

5 - Test ressurection on players.

In conclusion:

In case he does not die(most probable), it means that he faked his death for a reason, like seeing how his country's (supposed)  population and surrounding countries. In case he dies, unless it's an arranged death to test ressurection or the people's reactions, there would be 0% chance of anyone other than the one that killed ains to survive, and the killer would be submitted to a torture that would make the six arm's heads' torture seems like it was just a petting, specially if the killer was Demiurge.
