[That, in Twilight's opinion, is one of the biggest advantages of text. She can just read the whole thing as long as it takes to puzzle out a real, proper answer, rather than just rattling off the first thing that comes to mind. And that's what she's going to with this, as well.]
Interesting... Well, one thing I can see right off the bat is that it's more important than I imagined that you keep yourself alive. If the amount of fighters capable of combating the threat is already low, losing even one could be disastrous, even fatal.
The short term answer to your question is that I would definitely argue that fighting the enemy is the preferable option. For one thing, what happens if you withdraw and the other fighters lose without you? Is the enemy just going to stop? Unless you know for sure they will, all you've managed to do is delay the problem. But taking the enemy head on isn't wise either. I'd use guerilla tactics. Strike hard and fast, then flee before they can mobilize a counter force. If possible, disrupt their supply lines and damage their communications. Just hit anything that would slow them down and give you some breathing room.
The long term answer to your problem has already shown itself... someone needs to unite these fighters, or any other choice is just a temporary solution at best. And if no one else is going to do it, you may have to be the one who steps up. I realize that can probably seem like a monumentous task, but looking at the information you've given me, I can't see any either way you can save yourself or the people depending on you.
