I think Helaran joined the Skybreakers because he found out his mother was a member and thought that might have been why Lin killed her (which is Helaran's understanding).

Hopefully she doesn't kill him too, but given there's probably hundreds or thousands of dead Cryptics that studying the situation with Shallan could aid, it's a risk they're willing to take.

Before they continued on, Pattern went to seek out Adolin, and bring him, along with additional soldiers, back to the newly discovered passage way.
