A lot of people think that the Erlking was required for the Darkhallow to be used. He's not. The Darkhallow eats all the power of everyone in its range, then gives it to the caster, as well as a fair bit more. Using it in Chicago would have resulted in a Mab-level entity. The Erlking is already a Mab-level entity. And he summons a bunch of powerful spirits, which they can also eat for even more power. After casting it, they'd be strong enough to fight Mab. If they added the Erlking to the equation, they'd have more raw power than Mab and Titania put together. The whole point of the ritual is to gain more power. Why not double your power when it's so easy?
