He is going to meet up with Cinder and Co after they get to Mistral. From the transcript:

Salem: Cinder, you and  your   team  will meet with Doctor Watts, and together, convince Raven Branwen that the survival of her people depends on her cooperation. Once you have Spring under control, escort her to the  Relic and contact  Hazel. The  White Fang  was promised the destruction of Haven, and they’ll have it once we have what we need.

He has to wait around Mistral, but then they are suppose to be convinving Raven together. In the mean time, rather than going early and leaving Cinder and Co behind/ditching them, he has to make a tail for Tyrian.

Or, at least, that's how the transcript reads and the way Miles and Kerry wrote it - that Doctor Watts would be accompanying Cinder and Co when she goes to Raven. Whether they follow that or just leave it as bad writing remains to be seen.
