Probably, by the time Itachi reveals the truth to them, everyone else is already dead, and Konoha knows that Fugaku and Mikoto are the leaders of the coup. Ergo, they are already screwed by the time Itachi finds them. At that point, either Itachi kills them or they will be executed by Konoha *cough cough, Danzo, cough cough*. I think their decision to let Itachi kill them makes a lot of sense.
Any thoughts?

first of all Itachi might have caught his parents by surprise, Itachi is a top class ninja we can't expect anything less of him and even if he had engaged in an eye to eye battle with his father , itachi had mangekyou sharingan so there is no way that itachi will lose
And even though they were on wrong terms with each other , they were still his parents ,and they loved itachi, they wouldn't put up much resistance even if their son comes to kill them, besides his parents understood in what situation itachi was and they also understood that by getting themselves killed they will ensure the safety of their younger child ,sasuke.
so instead of initiating the coup and getting the family slaughtered by the konoha, they died by the hands of their son and ensure their children's safety
