What makes you think the orc chiefs would be dead? Since they are probably mostly cowards, they would run away and not die... Actually, I think they are the most likely to survive. And only the orcs bred from humans would not be immortal. Although the orcs were CORRUPTED elves, you have to remember that mortality was originally a GIFT, so corruption could not bestow it. Thus:

Orcs form elves=immortal
ORcs from men=mortal

No way around it. If an orcs ancestors wre immmortal, it is immortal, even if it was not from the first age.

(feel free to argue with me. I want you to)
