Survival of Forerunners after Halo activation

Did some Forerunners actually survive after the activation of the Halo rings?

They did according to the Halo Encyclopedia.

Page 171

After the starved Flood died off, the planets were reseeded with the rescued life forms and the shattered remnants of the Forerunner civilization decided to leave the Galaxy. Their final destination and current status remain unknown.

I hope they really did because we need some new characters besides humans and covenant.

I think that there might be some hiding within the Maginot Line at this point.

They must have for the Didact to have any motivation at all

P. 28

100,000 BCE
The Forerunners activate the Halo Array. All sentient life in the Milky Way Galaxy is exterminated except the sampling protected on the Shield World and the Ark. Once the Flood threat is ended, the sample species are reseeded across the Galaxy, including Humans on Earth, and they begin to repopulate their homeworlds. The Forerunners leave the Orion Arm of the Galaxy.

Halo 4 Terminal 7

Civilizations will rise in our stead, and our job as caretakers will at last bear fruit. Until then, I leave you here, my love. The only living thing in this galaxy, sealed safely away.

The Didact was sealed away and for a time was the only living thing left in the Galaxy. The others left.
