A sad day! Celeborn and Galadriel lost in the blink of an eye. After such a disappointment, why not promote the greatest possible destruction in Gondolin?

Main candidates:

Arien - casting Middle-earth into darkness to aid the attack.
Glorfindel - things can't go as well without him to fight the Balrog.
Idril - if she hasn't prepared the back way out of Gondolin yet, eliminating her will make it harder for anyone to escape.
Tuor - loss of a leader to increase chaos in the attack.
Ulmo - we already have Earendil, so apparently Tuor has arrived in Gondolin with Ulmo's warnings, but if he's gone, Nan-tathren won't be a safe haven after escape.

I'm leaning somewhat toward Arien.
