I know, that's the odd thing. They only talked about a single "turning point". Perhaps, having captured the general of the Human army, they decided to look for peace while the war was in their favor, rather than trying to crush humanity?

In the end, final negotiations went poorly for them, and the much larger human population now hated them (he did imply that mistreatment of Faunus was a result of the war). They may have avoided being confined to Menagerie, but they still were hurt by the poor public opinion.
