Tobi explained his main goal was to try and capture the Five Kage used them as leverage to get the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails. That was why he needed to rat out Sasuke, or else Sasuke would have just waited until the summit was over to assassinate Danzo.

He did want to make Sasuke sole dependant on him though, and that was part of his larger plan to use Sasuke as a Nagato substitute. However, that was abandoned, and by extension so was Sasuke, when Tobi deemed him to wild to control.

Tobi was kind of preaching the futility of the shinobi world when he was talking to Naruto. And I think part of his desire was to show Naruto that futility by pitting Sasuke against him. Once again though, that didn't happen as planned. Futility of the ninja world, like it beyond redemption and like sasuke at the time is better off destroyed or contrlled?
