I think that's what he means, unless we find out if the virgin sacrifices actually do help her in some kind of way. They were all necessary. She explains this in 309 right before taking Chris. Virgins for their innocence and purity - what made people believe that she would be the last one to be the Darach. Warriors for their fighting knowledge - what gave her experience with how to fight. Healers for their healing ability - what gave her experience to heal from things that should kill/wound a human (i.e. a bullet to the leg). Philosophers for their knowledge - what gave her her cunning and tactical ideas. Guardians (this wasn't stated in the show, but assumingly) for their protection - which will give her a way to have more of a defense somehow in the final battle.
