If he hadn't killed them, then making peace with the Empire would have cost many thousands more lives.

So are they worth that?

You're making it an either/or argument, which doesn't track for me because Ainz makes no attempt at all to find another path. It would be one thing if this was Ainz's last resort, but it's his first option. Even if I did accept that, there's no need to kill them so cruelly. He could have used some death magic to kill them all once they stepped inside the tomb, or even killed some, but spared others, if he felt he had to kill people to make a point.
