Several reasons:

- Building up and maintaining a great army is very expensive for a country. The more the other countries can stall and delay a war, the less money and resources the first country will have to fight the war with.

- If the other countries started strengthening their armies too much/too obviously, then the first country might see that as a reason to attack, while the coming enemy is still weak.

- Going to war is always a huge decision and a huge committment. It has a high price, in every way you can measure it. People get killed, stuff gets destroyed. Countries can't trade as they used to. etc etc.
