No, Ainz chose to spare Gazeth (before solo PVPing him), but the other three were at Demiurge's behest, with Renner as the source.

While it's not made absolutely clear, the list would seem to include Climb, King Ramposa III, and Marquis Raeven. Still, only Climb and the King seem to be certain choices. It is possible that Raeven escaped simply because of the sacrifice play of his bodyguards and the fact that Ainz commanded the Dark Young to stop as an incentive to have Gazef swear fealty to him.

Brain Unglaus might be considered a possibility, except that Ainz was unhappy to see him next to Gazef and Climb. Having three people he intended to spare in the same place would give him more latitude and thus would not seem a cause for dissatisfaction. Also, Renner probably considers Brain fairly disposible, compared to Gazef, whom she definitely didn't request be spared since Ainz had to add him to the list.

Still, there's no reason to spare Raeven if Renner doesn't intend to use him. She even went so far as to probe his feelings for his son in such a blatantly distasteful manner.
