Controlling the tailed beasts like it's nothing even though at the start it is said the weakest tailed beast is stronger then the strongest shinobi. Killing the council would have sparked a civil war. The rest of the village wouldn't let the council be assassinated without retaliation. I don't know, Killing wasn't explicitly said during the time they were planning the coup perhaps threatening or forcing them to quit the post or make Fugaku hokage? Tailed beasts during that time were thought off as weapons/brainless creatures not some one who have feelings. Only 3rd mizukage, Killer B and (maybe)hashirama had some pull amongst the tailed beasts.
