I can't decide whether I think W&H wouldn't go for the First's plans. I think they could make it work for their advantage, since they're just as happy to deal with demons as with humans. Though I think they'd be less into the mindless killing machines of the Turok Han. Maybe they'd quite like their world to still be ordered when it turned into hell. They might like the amenities - their offices are always so plush, after all. I suppose if you were going to be an overlord of a dimension it would be nice if it could actually function... and humans are particularly resourceful, so if they survived and were ultimately turned over to hell then they could possibly invent things to make the Senior Partners' existences more enjoyable.
I could see there being a war between them, but I'm not sure it would come about in twenty years. They'd step in when the First went too far, but until then I don't think they'd care. (Ultimately, in the pecking order of evil, I think the Senior Partners fall above the First.) I think the army of demons at the end of NFA was more to get rid of Angel than anything, since it seemed to be contained to LA. I think they'd probably try to cut a deal with the First the moment it started replacing humans en masse with the Turok Han etc. The First wouldn't agree, so then they'd try to destroy the First.
OK, so following my chain, that wouldn't happen on Earth, which is a problem. Perhaps if the First didn't need so much evil to manifest, then it could already have done so, in which case W&H would be out to destroy it in manifested form, where you'd end up with two great armies and humans stuck in the middle, along with anyone who didn't take a side. W&H would try to recruit anyone they could, willing to enter into a temporary 'truce' with the good guys to take out the First (though, obviously, trying to corrupt them along the way), whereas the First would be almost physically unable to do so. Ultimately W&H would win because, in the end, they're a greater force than the First.
That has got to be the biggest load of tl;dr shite that I've ever written... oh well.
