While AI armies can also close rifts, they aren't especially vigilant doing it, so if you have an ally you're planning to confederate and don't want them to get Chaos-nuked before you do, be a good neighbour and close their rift for them. Since the rifts always appear in similar places, I recommend training a cadre of heroes, and having them on standby so you can close every rift as soon as it appears, letting you focus on expansion.

Your heroes can also be used to quickly assassinate or wound any demonic agents that come through before you close them. But since these armies get stronger each time the rifts open, it's far quicker to use a hero to close them for a one-off cost of 1,500 gold. You can do this with an army by interacting with the rift and fighting a small battle, which is a great way of farming Devotion for Kislev. Once those pesky Chaos rifts spring up in your province and your faction leader has gone through to a daemon realm, you should close them as soon as possible.

Though the daemon prince souls will win the campaign, having a strong faction capable of supporting a powerful army, and even continuing to expand when the rifts are open, is arguably moreso: it decides who wins in the more competitive realms like Khorne and Nurgle. It's also fine to sacrifice a soul, since you have the opportunity to block another opponent if they get all four before you. Since the gate rewards are random, the ancillary may not appear for you, but you can still grab a huge chunk of change or another powerful boon that'll supercharge your early campaign. The cash that it gives you is enough to upgrade your settlement chains, build full garrisons, and economy buildings, helping you grow exponentially. The +25 control that it provides allows you to expand into Chaos corrupted territory without having to deal with rebellions, and after the first rifts appear, a lot of territory is going to be corrupted. This bribe from one of the gates in Slaanesh's realm is well worth sacrificing the opportunity to get a daemon prince soul for if you grab it when the first rift opens.
