The Salem wanting the maidens theory is a presumption, a very likely presumption, but a presumption nontheless. That said, it is quite likely Salem has other agents (Raven theories aside) and it is also very possible that these other agents are going after the other maidens.

Still it is also possible that Salem's plan is to use Cinder to regain all the maiden powers into one individual and to take them all at once from her using the same creature Cinder used on Amber. Your idea is still very possible though and I would enjoy seeing just what other people are willing to follow Salem and why.
