The Council helping doesn't mean Shepard going into the Citadel, asking for help, and the Council imedietly sending some huge fleet to retake earth, no that would be stupid and the fleet would be destroyed.It could mean that when Shepard has already asembled a nice big fleet, the Council also sends there fleet to combine with Shepards, creating an armada.
