I don't think they're going to "power down" the Gauntlet. Remember the Collector showing the Guardians the history of the stones - how each Celestial would move from planet to planet and raze it if necessary near the beginning of time? That was with ONE stone apiece per Celestial. And they were clear about the Power Stone - if it touches the ground of Xandar, the planet would have been destroyed.
Thanos will, essentially, be The One Above All with the Gauntlet (only having the true TOAA above him). And yes, the Avengers and the heroes are going down in part one. Hard.
