Tbh, I'm kind of confused as to what Pyrrha pretended to accomplish by going up there to fight Cinder.

She couldn't know Ruby would arrive, less that she was a Silver Eyed Warrior.

All I can think off is either buying time for the students to evacuate or Glynda to arrive (as Jaune was trying to call her when she made the decision).
