Seeing the Hashirama and Tobirama being summoned he looked surprised but when Orochimaru summoned Minato he looked like was gonna sh*t his pants. Do anyone have any ideas why? Me personally would be more scared of the 1st and 2nd Hokage being summoned.

Hiruzen is one of the greatest ninjas no making fun of him

Minato is a Jinchuriki and has FTG.

Hiruzen has adult diapers.

Put two and two together bro.

Because he is too old to handle speed.

Didn't want to solo them all 3 with his shuriken blitz.

1. He didn't actually summon Minato. He knew if the first two were Shodai and Nidaime, the only other Hokage (under the context of the situation it would only be another Hokage) was Minato.

2. His worried nature in that situation was probably because at that point in the series Minato was considered a legend/OP/a real threat during that specific scenario. Not to mention 4 vs 1 with 3 hokages doing Oro's bidding is scary as it is.

Because Minato is Naruto's father and Naruto is just to great and powerful that the 3rd even feared his father.

Because Hashirama and Tobirama were already summoned. There was no reason for him to be frantic because that would just be a waste of time. However, all three of them would have been too much, so he had to stop it.

It was mostly just because adding yet another Edo Hokage would make matters way more difficult, regardless of which one it would be...

It was already 3 Kage level Ninja's against Hiruzen..adding that 4th would obviously make matters worse.

Because Minato is the true god of shinobi.

The fact that Hiruzen was able to stop an Edo from being summoned by the summoner is a testament to his legendary skill. No other character has countered Edo Tensei in such a way.

Cause who wants to fight 3 Hokages and Oro at once? The first two were summoned quickly. There was a slight delay with the 3rd so Hiruzen tried to stop that shit but the summoning failed anyway.
Plus Hiruzen saw Minato seal the Kyuubi inside him. An Edo Jin would be a disaster for Hiruzen.

Because the FTG most likely was something that Hiruzen wasn't very well suited against.

While Tobirama and Hashirama were in weakened conditions, Minato would have virtually had his full arsenal since it simply revolves around FTG.

It would have been too much.

Let's just say you're in a 1 vs 3 situation and all of a sudden a 4th person comes in, making it a 1 vs 4. Your level of fear might rise just a bit and you might pee your pants.
