What I mean is the gods, each have their globes of power but maybe the demon involvement is weaking their powe and influence. Because of these corrupt governments or leaders or what have you much of the gods former powers are deminishing in favour of the demons. Next, the few more powerful remaining gods can help you access "the end of the Abyss" by protecting you, guiding you, dealing with the demon lords, provided needed training and equipment, etc. I can see Pelor running at a group of Balors or even Orcus himself while "you go on ahead". Finally, the reason the gods need the players is because the gods power over the chained god is weakening. The chains that were formed by the magics of the old gods are starting to lose all effectiveness and that's why he is able to break free. If he is able to break free once then he can do so (and more easily) again. This set up would give an opportunity for the characters, who survive, to take up divine roles themselves. It's your choice if that means their new elite ops, or if you want to make them gods themselves or anywhere in between. (Minor additional suggestion; the gods were former adventurer's who defeated the chained god in the time before? Maybe not mortal adventuer's depending on your cosmology but something similar?) Anyway, hope this helps.
