An Alpha's stength with their pack was explained in season 2. An Alpha is stronger with a pack, and a pack consist of an Alpha and at least 3 Betas. Derek knew the Alpha pack was coming in season 2 and that's why he was in such a hurry to build his pack and recruit the people he did. He knew he would be too weak to fight other Alphas without a full pack. So Scott will need two other Betas besides Liam to have a full werewolf pack. That could be Derek(provided he doesn't go human) and Malia(provided there isn't a technicality with her being a were-coyote). A werewolf you haven't turned can still add to your pack strength as much as one you have turned as shown in season 2 when Derek wanted Scott in his pack when he was building it up even though he didn't turn Scott.
