You can choose to kill Sevis, or have him kill you.
If you choose yourself, he one-shots you and you can release like normal. While running back to your corpse, Illidan notes that you must have an immortal demon soul as he does.

If you choose to sacrifice yourself - you die, release, and run back to your body. After you release Lord Illidan Stormrage says to you:
Interesting. Like me, you have an immortal demon soul.
You cannot truly die. Instead, your soul will make its way to the Twisting Nether. There, you will wait until you can find a suitable body to inhabit.
Now get back into your corpse while there is still time and bring me the keystone!Later on when you go to Illidari Foothold and speak to [npc=100044] he will tell you:
Thank you again for sparing my life. I trust you know that I'd willingly sacrifice everything to further Lord Illidan's plan. The Burning Legion must be destroyed at any cost.
I owe you everything, <Name>.
Now, you must tell me how you survived. I killed you! It would seem the rumors about you are true... you're nearly as powerful as Illidan.
So the reason you can resurrect from your body is that you have an immortal demon soul like Illidan.
Unlike regular WoW players, who just carry one of these: [item=27940].

Description
Our Shivarra demonesses are waiting at the Black Temple. It's a gamble bringing them here... they used to be part of the Burning Legion after all. But, they are some of the most powerful in Lord Illidan's arsenal. <Jace looks at you for a long moment.> I have a feeling that the ultimate sacrifice is going to have to be made in order to summon them in.
