Idk how it works, But i do know the flood. The flood, are a higly parasitic and higly adadtive form of life. They can lie dormant for 100,000's of year's, only to be awakened by their hunger, and prensence of food. If the flood got off of halo, no lifeform would ever exsist, besides the flood. As the monitor says "if the flood were to leave this installation, they would consume all". Inevitably, the flood would spread father and farther. And even though halo destroys all sentient life, life will rise again. Although it would have to start from scratch, it would be back. The monitor also said, "last time you asked me, if it were my choice would i do it. Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. We must activate the ring. If you are unwilling to help, i will simply find another." Yes he knows the flood must be stopped. And knows what need to be done. They flood were lying dormant, and the monitor sealed the section's they were contained in. Damn the flood, You cant destroy them, only make em go silent.
