Considering the fact that he was not present at the proceedings and very likely did not know about the party at all, please explain how he was at fault.

The Maharsha says that Bar Kamtza was Kamtza’s son. Kamtza should have figured out a way to make peace.
in addition, IIRC, there are peshatim that Kamtza was there, and could have made peace on the spot (probably connected to the Maharsha), and didn’t want to do so.
