If Cortana is able to convince Gravemind that Human Beings are the good guys (the Prophets are the bad guys?), then Gravemind reconsiders and psychically instructs all Flood everywhere to cease and decist and stand down, stop fighting the Humans and the Convenant. Remember in the MATRIX III, when Neo convinces the Machine that humans and machines have to work together to combat a common foe, an evil computer program/virus, and in the end Neo is victorious (and also dies), the Machine orders all his minions to stand down and honour a truce between machines and humans. Of course, at the end of the Matrix movie the Machine asks "how long do you think this truce will last?" And is answered in response "as long as it can."

The Flood laid dormant for 101,000 plus years. I'm sure they could go longer.
