I rechecked its documentation located at here
<https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex.pdf>, and it seems
that it really can do the thing I mentioned above and even more can be
done. Below are some relevant descriptions:

<quote>
5.3 Automatic Parsing of TEX Files
[...]
TeX-parse-self Parse file after loading it if no style hook is found
for it. [User Option]
TeX-auto-save Automatically save style information when saving the
buffer. [User Option]
[...]
;; Only parse LaTeX class and package information.
(setq-default TeX-auto-regexp-list ’LaTeX-auto-minimal-regexp-list)
;; The class and package information is usually near the beginning.
(setq-default TeX-auto-parse-length 2000)
