It could mean to completely eliminate or destroy everyone so that there is no one left to relate what has happened. For example, in a very cruel and extreme situation like a massacre where the intention is to wipe out all witnesses.
Literally, it implies leaving no one alive to narrate an event. It might be used in a historical context, say in a battle where one side wants to ensure that the other side has no survivors who can report back about their strategies or actions. This phrase has a rather dark and violent connotation.
Well, 'leave none to tell the story' can be seen as a very harsh and decisive statement. It could refer to situations in which a group or an individual is so intent on secrecy or domination that they don't want anyone around who could spread the word. It might also be used in a fictional or literary sense, for instance in a horror story where a monster or a villain wants to leave no one to tell others about its existence. This gives a sense of finality and horror, as it implies the total annihilation of any possible narrators.
