Hi,
What is the meaning of they would be back in the following text?
The mood was somber, as might be expected, though many of the locals ( working in the law firm) were not troubled by the verdict. After months of working under Kurtin and his arrogant henchmen from Atlanta, they felt a quiet satisfaction in watching them retreat in defeat. And they would be back. The verdict guaranteed new mechanism from the victims, more lawsuits, trials, and so on.
Thanks

It is understood that they will return (as a result of the things listed in the last sentence). Even though they are retreating now, it is clear that they will return, come back.
