What does 2 Kings 10:5 mean?

So the palace manager, the city governor, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: We’re your servants. We’ll do whatever you say. We won’t make anyone king. Do whatever you think is best. 2 Kings 10:5 - Modern Text Bible

(They surrender completely, offering no resistance and putting themselves at Jehu’s mercy.)
