Ainz is rational enough to revise his planned reaction to the credible threat posed, and we've seen him do that in both directions.

Usually, a threat turning out to be less serious than anticipated does result in less drastic measures, and a threat turning out to be more serious results in harsher measures. But not always. Because the ultimate criteria is "what's best for Nazarick?"

Yes, the Black Scripture will be treated something like how Eight Fingers were, or worse. But the Theocracy as a whole won't be. It simply doesn't serve any purpose. Ainz isn't holding a grudge, he's keeping in mind that he may be dealing with a Player who has determined to be hostile to him without any overture of negotiation.
