Increase your reputation with the Khergit lords (marry the daughter of a powerful lord with lots of male family members) In your situation I would suggest you stay as a Khergit lord and bide your time before defecting aggressively at the right moment. This means they will spend all their time travelling between them and will be unable to defend them effectively. Fiefs are not awarded with any geographic cohesion in mind so Khergit lords will end up holding fiefs at opposite ends of the map. A few lords might join the Khanate from the factions it defeats but more will join the other remaining factions.
As it expands its lords will become more spread out and it will be harder for the marshal to gather them for a campaign. In addition to the above the Khanate will weaken itself as it gets larger.
You can't die or loose experience or any enterprises/land you own in Mount and Blade so you will always be able to conquer the world, even if you have lost your castles and your army and had to start from scratch (well apart from the experience, equipment, enterprises etc.). It's never too late to satiate your desire for World Domination in M&B:W.
Well, that's how I'd handle the situation. It would be advisable to capture said castle after the majority of the Kahnid noyans and their Khan have just recently fought a major battle, and are low on troops. Get some lords on your side, preferably Kahnid, to support your cause, and make a stand at the castle should the Kahnid come at you in numbers. Be careful when assaulting the castle though, as the Kahnid are very archer-oriented, making the ascent on top of the castle walls a rather interesting experience. This castle is in a narrow passage, and should make it easy enough to defend or flee from if necessary. Once you have about 20 mamlukes, the Sarranid melee horsemen, (gonna take some time, but given that Swadia's gone (they're always first to kick the bucket) and you're cutting into Vaegir and Sarranid territory, 20 should do it), defect and try to conquer their southern-most castle (forgotten its name). Make up for the lack of ranged units with some horse archers of your own though. They are excellent detergents towards Kahnid Horse Archers, because of their extreme resilience and armored horses. I suggest you build an army of Saranid Mamlukes.
