It is pretty clear after looking at last panel of recent chapter 657, Madara is aiming at absorbing the Bijuu, which will likely take some time to accomplish. His Will Encarnate Black Zetsu is also in the process of retreiving the Rinnegan back from Obito, but is likely to get stalled, if not prevented by Minato, Kakashi and others. Madara now also has senjutsu chakra, and a bit of kyubbi chakra from stepping on dead SA member covered in kyubbi chakra cloak and absorbing it. With his recent displays of power, its pretty easy to assume he is the most powerful member on battlefield ATM.
However, I've had an unsettling feeling about Orochimaru ever since he was revived by Sasuke, and he's been absent from the manga for how many chapters now, 10? (last seen in 647). He is one of the most knowledgeable people in NarutoVerse, knowing intimate details of all members of NV, history of villages, story of So6P....It is not beyound the realm of possibility to assume that Oro has (a) an alternate motive that does not coincide with the Shinobi Alliance, or (b) that he knows details of the God Tree (Oro was able to read the Uchiha Tablet, without Sharingan ability, which is where the details of the God Tree and Kaguya Ootsutsuki are written) Could it be possible that he could use this time that Madara and SA are occupied to initiate his plan? If/when the God Tree blooms, will he attempt to eat its fruit, and gain serious power up? Madara stated that the fruit on the tree only comes every millennium. Not sure how long its been since Kaguya ate the fruit when it first appeared, but maybe the time is coming soon, and Oro knows it? Oro is also still in control of the Kages he revived, so he could at any point use them to attack the SA / Madara.
I didn't post links to specific claims I've made, but I know they're true, and can post them if you guys would like. Thanks for reading, thoughts?
