the Seanchan can now travel.
Uh... no they can't.
It's possible that they'll learn how soon, but not guaranteed. We don't know how long it will take to break Elaida, and even if it happens quickly (as I've said elsewhere, she's hard but brittle and may crack easily), there's no certainty that she'll immediately start sharing out every weave she knows.
I have no doubt that the Seanchan will learn Travelling eventually, but there's no guarantee that they'll have it before TG makes it moot. They certainly won't be making use of it before the very end of ToM at the earliest.
They can basically open several gateways all over the BT during the night for example and basically start mass bombardment before the Asha'man have any idea what is even happening.
The BT is a fortress, created in a world and at a time where everyone considered male channelers to be an abomination. This is not the smug and complacent WT, wrapped up in its own petty infighting and oblivious to even a direct warning. The BT will have guards and sentries and wards. Taim has already described in an earlier book how he would set up an area to instantly detect enemy channelers at work. Do you really think he's taken no steps to defend his own base?
The only way the BT is damaged by the Seanchan is if the shadow wants that to happen (i.e. Taim and his men bug out and let the handful of Rand loyalists at the BT take the fall).
