No. The manual specifies that immortal commanders won't retreat "just because everyone else has been slain" (chapter 6.6) if they're in friendly dominion. I'd read that so that immortal commanders may fail their morale checks when hit enough and therefore rout, at least I'd think that would've happened to me in a couple of occasions.
