The Mistrali(?) council's permission wouldn't make a difference either way.

The Kingdom, of Mistral, isn't defenseless, (I'm sure they have some of those lovely invisible border defenses) but their primary line of defense and their ability to carry out premptive missions, to keep nearby Grimm populations in check, has been essentially crippled.

There's also the issue that Huntsmen are multipupose operatives who handled more than. For example, capturing powerful criminals is going to become difficult. Bounty missions will be assigned considerably less priority when there are precious few Huntsmen to respond to situations, guard the borders, and attempt to keep the Grimm population under control.
