will the male and female eat them?

Maybe. I have a pair that raises their own fry but I've had many pairs where one or the other eats the fry or the eggs all disappear overnight. This pair is in the 120? with lots of plants. That should help them feel secure. Are there other fish in the tank? Some pairs will get it right with practice. In any case, they are likely to lay again so don't panic if you lose the first batch.
You have 3 options.
1. Leave them where they are and give mommy & daddy a chance.
2. Take the substrate they are stuck to (Hope you have a spare tube)
3. Wait until you see tails and gently siphon out wigglers.
Once you take the eggs or wigglers put them in a 1 gallon jar or 2.5 gallon tank with airstone and/or sponge filter.

what should i do i want them to all live or most of them.

In any case, obtain live food. Get a microworm culture and/or brine shrimp eggs to hatch. However, do not feed until fry are swimming (in a cloud, not stuck to the bottom).
Start reading, there is lots of angelfish fry raising information in books, magazines and on the net, including old threads in this forum.
As to whether you should take the young, inexperienced parents are likely to lose all or most of the fry. Unfortunately, this includes humans inexperienced at raising fry. You also could take only some of them, but if you disturb a pair, they may eat the rest.
