Considering he knew enough of the technique to overcome it, and his body wasn't destroyed (unlike literally every other akatsuki) by Zetsu, it makes me think it was a contingency plan. His main plan was to indeed get revived by Rinne Tensei, but it seems ludicrous that he wouldn't have a backup plan in the form of Edo Tensei.
