I’m pretty sure they fought and conquered neighboring tribes. They also had Tenochtitlan, the capital, in the middle of lake Texcoco, which provided protection. They then defeated more tribes and taxed the tribes until the Aztecs were flourishing where they were invaded by Hernan Cortez
The statement about the Toltec that is true is : They shared common gods and religious belief with the Aztecs
Technically, the Toltec and the Aztecs never made a direct contact. But Toltec gained all of their information about gods and religious beliefs from the relics and documents left by Aztecs
hope this helps
