That mantra is how the tribe has justified the destruction of Shion, most likely Kuroyuri, along with countless other villages. They seem to view people as being no different from any other animal, like wolves devouring sheep, hence why they can slaughter them without feeling guilty. Clearly they scoff that the "value" of human life, along with the concept of morality, seeing survival and strength as all-important.

Now as for Salem, I think Raven knows Salem won't spare her tribe, and I severely doubt she'll throw away her pride to plead on their behalf. If they can't defeat an enemy, they flee, I doubt they're so indoctrinated to actually die for their beliefs, if it comes down to a question of strength or survival, they'll choose the latter; people like them always run into someone stronger.

As for Jaune and Ruby, I can see Raven demanding they surrender Qrow if they want to live. Of course neither Ruby or Jaune will agree, so a fight seems inevitable. Hopefully Ruby learns some humility, because going head-on against Raven will get her flattened. How they get out it, we'll just have to wait and see.
