Demandred at the Cleansing: The weave thrown by Flinn's group struck Demandred's protective wards and shielding much harder than it should have, implying that not only was Damer stronger than he appeared, but there was an increase in strength not proportional to the amount of people in the Link. From Demandred's description, this wasn't merely a surprise - the strength of the attack was sufficient to put him immediately on the defensive, and he is not far behind Rand/Lews Therin in strength.
I took this to mean that Demandred saw saidin coming towards him and was ready to deflect it, but it struck him much harder because he couldn't see/sense the saidar. I'm sure the link was much stronger because it was a mixed circle, but I thought Demandred was referring to the saidar which surprised him.

He thought they were Aes Sedai who could not channel?

He did not know they were Aes Sedai until after the mixed weave struck his warding.
