They will probably bring up the summit later for cohesive story purposes.

Basically we have an A and B plot here (shin and Sarada's mother). Adding the hokage summit might (in Pierrot's eyes) complicate stuff, since it's not going to be mentioned more until after this arc. I think it's similar to Shin's Akatsuki cloak, they kept that reveal for later to nicely fit with Shin's motives etc. Not a super-big deal but i think it fits slightly nicer.
