No, that isn't what it implies. His hatred and revenge would be ending with this final confrontation with Houji, but he also knew that Aogiri would be destroyed. It seems that this was planned all along, though we don't know what purpose Aogiri's creation and destruction serves in the larger scheme.

But basically, Tatara went into things knowing it would be a hopeless battle and Aogiri would lose.
