So...what I think is: If Jiraya already knew the secret of Pain the battle would happen, basically, the same way it did but he would know that he had to wait until for all 6 to enter in battle so he could use the genjutsu. If it succeded he would "kill" all of them with the stone swords, then he could use one of his frogs (the one he used to trap Animal Path) to keep the corpses and keep them away from Nagato. After that he would go after Nagato and do whatever he wanted, kill him, convert him....
