That's not going to work, for two reasons: 1. Taglumo is probably not going to find out about what Taru-Na is doing, because
 * a. she's trying to do it secretly and
 * b. he's somewhere else and not paying any attention to random stuff going on in Westopolis.

2. Even if Taglumo did find out about what Taru-Na is doing, he still wouldn't ask for help, because he wouldn't think that he needs it. In the prologue, he practically asked everyone to try to stop his plan. If someone did try to stop his plan, his reaction would not be "Oh no! I must go get help." Quite the opposite: it would probably be something like "Woohoo! Now this isn't as trivially easy any more! Another petty challenge to overcome will be welcome."
