Thing is, in character, that's not the choice you have. You don't know the spirit's gonna make the village kill itself.

You're sent to kill a spirit, the spirit tells you the crones took the children (you can check that out, everyone's gone), and it offers to save them.

The choice is, kill something and hope it was evil (and since the evil, man-eater crones sent you, the spirit probably isn't worse than them), or free something, and hope it will be true to its word (after it already told you the truth about the children being taken).
