It was Kronos that said they were making a last stand, not the Olympians. However, when Typhon stepped in the Hudson River, Percy thought that was when Poseidon would be at his strongest and if he left his Underwater palace, he had to attack at that moment.

Kronos: "The Olympians are giving their final effort." Kronos laughed."How pathetic."

Percy: "Typhon stepped into the Hudson River and barely sank to midcalf. Now, I thought, imploring the image in the smoke. Please, it has to happen now."
