Yeah, that's true, and it's not like they really need hostages anyway. The Vandenreich are a strong pack of bastards, that's for sure. They left the Soul Society in ruins with just 16 Stern Ritters, and Yhwach dealt with Ichigo rather handily, and Haschwalth cut his Bankai without breaking a sweat. They don't need hostages, not with their current level of power.
