Is this Hadith here not quit clear to anyone that the path of the salaf is the true path?

The prophet muhammad (saws) said The Jews split into seventy one groups. The Christians split into seventy two groups. This Ummah will split into seventy three groups; all of them will be in the fire except one.; They (the Sahaabah) said,Who are they (that saved group) O Messenger of Allah? He (saw) said, They are the one who are upon the like of what I and my companions are upon.Is this Hadith here not quit clear to anyone that the path of the salaf is the true path?
According to an authentic narration, he said: “My community will be divided into seventy-three sects, and only one among them will attain salvation.” He was asked: “Who are they?” He replied: “Those who follow me and my Companions,” meaning the Sunnis or Ahl al-Sunna wa’l-Jama‘a.
