I think he just didn't want to see his son dead. Despite everything, he still cares about him.
On the other hand, I believe that he really considered malack a friend.

basically, he would have liked both of them alive, but since he knew they both wanted to kill each other, he removed himself from the situation, to avoid taking sides in such a conflict.
But I guess we will know more next strip.
Another idea is that Tarquin wants Nale to inherit the empire he built. Before killing Durkon, Malack said he was the one who would rule the empire, due to the fact that he'll easily outlive(so to speak) his compatriots in the conspiracy.

Just had another realization. Look at the guy opening the portal. Then look back at the one where Tarquin is explaining to Elan about his old adventuring party.

If that army is trained for ominous plot-critical reveals, I look forward to them all saying "DUN DUN DUNNNN!" in chorus when Tarquin is done saying whatever he is going to say.

Why did Nale think they could pull it off? He seems to seesaw between idiocy and cunning, and an likely better trained if not resourced army hasn't out-muscled Xykon once.

Because he's arrogant, short sighted, and severely lacking in self-awareness. It's hardly the only dumb move he's ever made. Fact is the guy is usually his own foil, it's what makes him, him.

High Int, low Wis, and a crippling ego problem.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
