Indeed your assumptions could be right , but I think the Dark Lord did not hold the nine . The phrase " he held the nine " can also be deciphered as that he had control over the nine rings , and the nazgul wore them so he also had control over the ringwraiths .
But indeed I have come to realise that after the One Ring is destroyed the nine would be also destroyed .
