I believe there's an opportunity to be had for Bellamy & Clarke to create a large benefit for their people: Not all of the Mountain Men are bad, hell some were even willing to fight against their leader. What Bellamy & Clarke need to do is depose or eliminate their leader, & undercut what his policy was by offering the Mountain Men the ground. The Sky People will donate Bone Marrow (in a sustainable & non-lethal fashion), Maya (& perhaps Jasper) will be left in the Mountain with a loyal security detachment in order to run things there, and an alliance will be forged between the Peoples of the Sky & Mountain. Oh, & if Lexa proves to be belligerent to such a union, leak Lexa's role in the disaster at the village to the grounders as a whole.

Just think about it, combined their numbers should stretch just below a 1000 at least, and in addition they'll be the most technologically advanced state in the region (that, and Jaha's group would give the Sky People a connection to the City of Light).
