Assuming Cinder's plan does involve the Grimm (which we have no proof for by the way) I can see 3 possibilities.

1.  Have the White Fang (armed with all the Dust Roman stole) begin a full scale insurrecction against Vale and its defenders. Once both sides are weakened and exhusted, break down the Vale's defenses and let the Grimm go to work.

2.  Reverse of possibility 1. Basically, she lets the Grimm in first, then once they've softened up the opposition, the White Fang can mop up the survivors and take over.

3.  False-flag scenario: Cinder lets the Grimm in, so that her own forces can stop them. The goal being to cause the people to lose trust in the established authorities and look towards her own group as saviors. Especially insidious if an "accident" should befall said established authorities.

The goliath in the living room, however, is what Cinder hopes to gain.
