Well you can go both ways with this.
Yes the Covenant should be battered, the entire Covenant has just undergone a rebellion, pitting half of the Covenant against the other. Yes the Elites were the backbone of the Covenant but now it is clear that the Brutes haven taken over that role. The thing that should have hit the Covenant the most though is that they just lost their home planet, High Charity to the Flood. But..
No the Covenant should still continue to be strong, mabie not as strong as before but still stronger then Humanity. Their technology of course is superior to ours, but when you take it all in they just plain out number us. Imagine each race of the Covenant, they must all have a homeworld much like Humans have Earth. Grunts, Jackals, Elite, Hunters, Brute, Drones, Prophets each one having a home planet which then makes the loss of High Charity irrelivant. The Covenant government will probably just relocate to one of these home worlds.
