Bertolt probably feared Zeke, which is why he and Reiner even participated in the Battle for Shiganshina. Like when he saw Reiner, he ditched his plans to nuke everyone right then and there to save his best friend. This implies he didn't give a shit about Zeke's plan if it endangered Reiner. The only reason I believe he followed through was because of Zeke. After witnessing the Warchief beat down Reiner Braun, one of the most powerful shifters in the series to a bloody stand still, I'd be scared.
