Without-with

Hello,

1. With them on our side, we are secure.

2. Without me to supplement your income, you would not be able to manage.

Here in #1 and #2, 'with' and 'without' are subordinator.

I don't know what kind of clause these two sub-ordinators express.

Could anyone please explain it by show some paraphrase?

Thanks.
