Truth may have indeed discovered the true secret of Halo, however, it would only have been him, and humanity, who knew the truth about Halo. All the other Prophets were religious zealots who actually believed almost everything that came out of their own mouths. Truth was the only Prophet who may have know the truth, or a partial truth, about Halo, the Prophets as a whole actually believed that Halo would elevate them to god-hood, like they believed the Forerunners were.
As for destroying Humanity, that had become partially the Covenant's goal ever since they first found Humanity on Harvest. That's what Truth means with his "your destruction is the will of the gods", they believed Humanity was an affront to the Forerunners and had to be destroyed in order for the Great Journey to progress, or something like that.
Makes sense, but I still think that Truth was using the Great Journey to justify his genocide of humanity.
Truth may have been, I don't really know what he believed at the end, but it sounds like he may have come to the conclusion that the Great Journey was false, or at the least that the Halos were no the key. But he certainly seemed to be under the delusion that Humans were Forerunners who had been left behind.
