The three great Demon Gods were unwilling to see Wan Shilong submit to Su Chen; after all, for the Celestial Demon Clan, this was hardly a glorious affair.
Most importantly, as Wan Shilong himself had stated, he had rendered meritorious service to the Celestial Demon Clan, and even his son and daughter-in-law had died in battle for the clan. Allowing him this choice was the final respect he was due. Had it been anyone else, the three great Demon Gods would have combined their strength to suppress them, leaving them no chance to even choose self-detonation, forcing them into submission instead.
Su Chen did not intervene, for he understood the Demon Gods' position. If Wan Shilong chose to submit of his own accord, he would accept it, but if Wan Shilong preferred to detonate his own soul rather than yield, he would not stop him. He had to show respect to the master, and since his master hailed from the Celestial Demon Clan, he had to give the clan face.
