Not necessarily, only a small portion of miners and users are planning to fork (Approximately 10%-20%). Their hoping that with this small portion beginning the fork (implementing SEGWIT) that they will gain enough traction to secure 51% and force a fork towards SEGWIT activation.
There's a huge possibility that this attempt will just end in FUD and they will gain no traction effectively achieving nothing. One reason why this will end in FUD is that there is more than enough porcessing power to cancel out their attempt as is.

Make sure every wallet you're dealing with (ESPECIALLY FUCKING EXCHANGES) have PROPERLY implemented bip 148 support as well as legacy. If the chains re-merge, transactions will be LOST.
