[LotR] What would have happened to the Fellowship if the balrog hadn't interrupted the army of goblins surrounding them in Moria?

In the movie, the Fellowship is completely surrounded by an army of goblins before the balrog shows up and scares them all away.

They were hopelessly outmatched. Even if they'd never stopped killing goblins, they'd have eventually been buried in their corpses. What would have happened if the balrog hadn't shown up?

Goblins are cowardly beasts, and Orcs not much better.  We've seen them retreat once already after the death of the Cave Troll, and we can assume they'll retreat once again after enough of them have been killed.
