The Cholulans were not Aztecs. They were Tolteca-Chichimeca and one of the few nearby groups whom the Aztecs were unable to conquer. The history is a little unclear, but it looks like they had actually wanted to ally with the Spanish to overthrow the Aztecs.
They were certainly not unarmed pacifists.
