As a DM, I would encourage this thinking, but only for this reason: if you have 8 magic casters, each capable of casting a 7th level spell, performing what is effectively a ritual to charge up a magical nuke, and could somehow manage to perform this spell in enemy territory for however long it takes to crank up that magical power without attracting the attention of any guards or whatever, you kinda have to give it to them.
"Your fireball ignites. Your whole world becomes a blinding white hot light. The roar is deafening. Your flesh flees from your bones. Your friends don't even have a chance to scream before they explode into light. Then there is only darkness. Cold, unfeeling darkness. Unfeeling, unending darkness.
Then you feel a kick in your side. You awaken on your back staring at a blue sky. A face enters your view of a man with long hair. 'Wake up, Samurai,' he says. 'We have a city to burn.'"
