The kobolds are being fairly truthful. They don't actually want to go inside themselves, even though they seem to have been coerced into doing so by someone. The appearance of a group of "big'uns" has changed the mathematics somewhat. While they don't want to anger you all (you're bigger than they are and could easily squash them), they don't actually want to specifically ask you for help in this situation as bringing others into this little scuffle could have...other consequences.
