You then have to complete either complete the Battle of Whiterun or "Season Unending" to negotiate a truce between Imperial and Stormcloaks, to be able to proceed in the Main Quest. Season unending is not a civil war qeust, and you don't have to do battle of whiterun or season unending before it happens I believe.
