My idea, the emperor is a genius and his understanding of the universe far outstrips pretty much everyone elses in the lore, so theres only one reason (if hes a perpetual) that he would allow himself to become a sitting duck on terra, stuck on the golden throne. This is that its a trap, probably for chaos, to lure them into his place of greatest strength and utterly destroy either their champions or most powerful instruments in a climatic battle and rebuild from that, otherwise if he came back it would just be a continuation of war as he sought to continually drive back chaos from a million different points in costly, lenghty and ultimately futile campaigns.
