If she presses him for a contribution, he will eventually reluctantly say that he doesn't believe that the C-Primes are there to negotiate, but that he doesn't have a good opinion of their strategic capabilities.
The only thing that stands any chance of working for the C-Primes is them firing on the Moira, precisely because Bruce is a factor. They won't -- or at least shouldn't -- be interested in any plans that "give" them Bruce, because they've seen the destruction he can wreak: if he can be the catalyst for the annihilation of a planet, the same thing can certainly happen on a ship.
Therefore, the smart thing for the C-Primes to do would be to try to keep Bruce on this ship, but potentially sending him into a rage while they're on it wouldn't be any better: it would be catastrophically stupid of them to board, even if it would otherwise seem like a good idea strategically, and even if them boarding is undesirable for the crew of the Moira from a defensive standpoint.
In L's opinion, negotiation is a formality, but he's not sure who the C-Primes are trying to impress by giving warning, or if they're attempting psychological warfare, or ????? There's also no telling that they're not a rogue splinter group, but if they aren't, and if their remaining society can support it, the Moirans should assume that more will follow even if the original group is defeated.
Maybe they want that glass that's in the garden?
Afterward, he does indeed give Clara a basic outline of other discussions, but he warns her not to tip off other teams to her knowledge. (If asked, he will do the same for the other two team leaders.)
