Warning! There are very few ally minions remaining near this enemy turret. The turret will attack you when there is no ally minions left, so you should retreat to a safe distance and wait for ally minions to arrive.
(Reference: North America League of Legends game)

1. There are very few ally minions that is remaining near this enemy turret.
2. There are very few ally minions that remain near this enemy turret.
------------------------
I'd like to know if the red part means sentences 1 or 2.

1 is ungrammatical, so 2 means roughly the same as the original.

1. There are very few ally minions [STRIKE]that[/STRIKE] who [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] are remaining near this enemy turret.

See above. The sentence is now grammatical, at least. It's not very natural, though so stick with the original or sentence 2.

I'd also like to know if "are" is used with "remaining" to form a progressive tense.
