I would guess that they will kill the foreign queen at some point. Mainly because that's how the gamergate system works. Slave makers would copy the pheromones and before the nanitics or workers would hatch the slave maker queen might get killed in an attempt of another queen taking over.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is how slave makers and gamergates work.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Currently not keeping any ants anymore.

All hosts of slave making ants don't have gamergates so I guess the gamergate colony would just kill the slave makers.
