They likely hope to get Atlas attacked by everyone, while it attacks Mistral(thus tying up its own defenses), once everything is Razed and the last Airship goes down, Salem Wins. Somehow I doubt she'll stop there, once the four kingdoms have been rent asunder by war, Salem will unleash her own armada to wipe out what's left of civilization, comprised of "the things she's made," as Qrow put it. Though I'm betting Team RWBY will bring her down before she can completely destroy humanity, or else it would be a truly pyrrhic victory. And I don't see that happening in this story.
