It could have just as easily worked out as a lonesome journey where against all odds he is able to overcome overwhelming adversity. Saving the two factions is just a plot device to lend Kirito help under the assumption that he needs help. With some strategic planning on how to fight the guardians (along with a truckload of health pots
) Kirito may very well be able to overcome that raid instance if they so chose to write it that way. All the other incidental stuff does is introduce more side characters that people may or may not care about.
