You did not understand what I wrote previously. The MM does not buy at one price as the positions are very large. You want to buy a stock if the MM is long. Then the MM needs to make the price go up so he can make money. If the MM is not long, I would not buy a stock. If he is short, then I want to short also, but not be long. That would be suicide.
In other words the MM has an investment account in addition to a market making account. I can't make this simpler.
