Her objection is based out of a fear borne of good reasoning

The Pattern is already straining to contain the chaos unleashed by The Dark One. I think her fear is based out of the very real horror that if we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg, with mass starvation, warfare brewing with the Seanchan, Shadowspawn and the Forsaken, and the instability of reality, they may not be able to survive long in a world with the Dark One fully unleashed. They may truly need as much time as possible to prepare.
Personally, I think Rand just wanted to give Egwene a reason to coordinate all of the allied nations, and I don't think he means to confront her about it. The last Seal may very well be destined to fail at precisely that time without Rand doing anything, making consternation over Egwene's thought that this is a very bad idea (this also includes Perrin, Mat, Elayne, the Wise Ones and pretty much every leader we're in close contact with - well maybe not Perrin, but we won't know how this pans out until the actual scene. Perrin seems to be confusing trust for agreement in the POVs he has towards the end. Just because you trust someone doesn't mean you agree with everyone they do).

Egwene's stupid objection to Rand

Her arguably irrational objections might be a result of Aran'gar's compulsion. *NM*

Especially that she is gathering armies to convince/force Rand...

You still believe in Terez's doomed theory?

Can anyone explain to me why she needs armies for this, anyway?

Rand is the Dragon Reborn. That doesn't mean he's the savior of the world.

Absolutely. I suspected he was doing this the moment he organised another meeting. *NM*

I would find that unsatisfying and not quite logical

Of course you'd say that. You just won't get past your prejudice in favor of her, can you?

"Wait, Rand! You have 2,394 more privates to hear from, and then the corporals...." Yeah. Great plan

Exactly: Egwene knows what she knows, including the fact that LTT knows a HELLUVA lot more.
