What Was Christoff’s Alternate Plan?
At the end of The Truman Show, Truman finally discovers
it was all fake after all. It was just a set. He finds the sky-painted far edge of the Omnicanecosphere, confirming his suspicions and shredding any final lingering doubts that it was just in his mind (not helped by Christoff cuing the sun way too early).
What were Christoff’s hopes or what was his motive and alternate plan in trying to get Truman to stay by talking to him over the intercom? Why bother? It was over. Truman
knew it was all a lie at that point. That his life up to that point had meant nothing, but entertainment for millions and that he'd had almost no privacy or genuine uncontrolled experience of anything.
Even if Christoff managed to convince Truman to stay, Truman would NEVER look at Sea Haven or his life the same way again and he would cease being the “good ole natural” Truman that everyone in the audience loved, thus ratings would have slipped. The only logical thing Christoff could have done was throw in the towel and
let Truman leave through the "sky" exit. As soon as Truman found the exit Christoff should have known it was over and instead acquiesced to the producers to cancel the show, ceasing transmission.
Best Answer
I think this has to be opinion based - but my take was that Christoff wanted Truman to stay, for the sake of the world that had been created for him, even if he now knew it was fake and even if it would never be the same for the audience.
Christoff thought of himself as Truman's "god". He explicitly tells Truman that the world that has been made for him is better than the real one, and asks him to choose it willingly. If Truman stays, Christoff's created world can live. If he leaves, it has to die.

Answer 2
The contestants in Big Brother knew they were in a TV programme and yet that was very popular for a long time.
Perhaps Christoff thought that even if Truman knew he was on a show, it's still the only life he knows so while it won't be as natural as it was before he'll still go on living his life - might as well do it in this world in front of the cameras rather than do the same thing in the "real" world. They could even have worked out a deal where he wouldn't "break the fourth wall", had Truman been agreeable.
It might have lost a little of its charm now that Truman was in on it, but Christoff might have still considered it salvageable.
