I disagree, the Rebels are better protected - Edit 1

It's not going to be that simple. Egwene had a dream of a long line of Aes Sedai being collared.Those could actually be the rebels, since the White Tower provides more protection from an attack. Egwene may be instrumental in having the WT Aes Sedai saving the rebels. Alternatively the large number of novices in the rebel camp (channelers who have not sworn on the Oath Rod) means that they have a better fighting chance - Aes Sedai can't really fight being collared, since they can't use the power to prevent that (A'dam does not threaten their life, only freedom).
I disagree, the Rebels are better protected. The Tower Aes Sedai are isolated, with a different Ajah on each floor. The Tower guard is manning the walls.
The rebel Aes Sedai are all in one camp together and they have the 25,000 soldiers on their side of the river close at hand. An attack on the rebels would be far more difficult than a top down assault on the Tower.
