Alicui vitam reliquam facere or aliquem reliquum facere: to make life remaining to someone/to make someone remaining = to leave someone alive.
I read the first one in Cicero, ad Atticum, book3, 8.2.
It can also be said of things other than life: aliquid reliquum facere = to leave something, to let it remain.
