Let's just speak strictly militarily. At the time of the Siege of Mordor, Sauron had enough strength to withstand a siege of the largest group of warriors ever assembled for 7 years, as well as fighting an open battle with them on the Dagorlad, which he almost won. Suppose his might at its highest point were pitted against the Sons of Feanor and the Noldor (in the First Age only). Do you think he would stand a fighting chance? That is all I'm asking.
