Will your best practivist explanation of morality contain references to mind independent facts?
Nope.

Will it be objectively true?
Yup.
The two questions, which you answered seperately and disparately, are functionally equivalent. You either do or don't think that it will be objectively true, and for anything to be objectively true, it must refer to mind independent facts. That's what the term objective means in the first place.
Even the subjectivists contention that morality refers to mind dependent facts is asserted objectively, that purported fact is contended to be mind independent. I appreciate that this may create confusion due to the ground being staked out by the respective positions...but hey, morality is complicated, whatever it is, eh?
