[Star Wars] Why didn't the Jedi Council send more backup to Naboo when they knew a Sith Lord was running around?

The Jedi were not in a war during this time so they weren't starved for resources like they constantly were during The Clone Wars. 

They found out that a Sith Lord was running around for the first time in 1000 years but they send Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan back to Naboo alone. Why? Qui-Gon got killed and Obi-Wan would have been killed as well if Darth Maul hadn't been so cocky. 

During the celebration ceremony on Naboo, the whole damn council showed up to stand around even though nobody there even cared about them. Why couldn't they haul their asses to Naboo before?

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan encountered Maul on Tatooine, not Naboo, so there wouldn't have been much point sending backup to Naboo, from the Council's perspective. And nobody knew Maul was a Sith Lord, Qui-Gon suspected that he was from their encounter, and he passed those suspicions on to the Council. You have to remember, for a Jedi, Qui-Gon was a bit of a loose cannon. He very well may have reported a Sith Lord every other week.
