I think, like all 'the adj.-er, the adj.-er' structures, it's like a sentence with an 'if' clause.

It may be read as 'It will be better if you come sooner' or 'You'd better come sooner'.

That's not what they were asking, lemontea

"the sooner, the better" is an English expression.

This sentence is a polite way of rushing something. Doing it sooner is better but doing it later doesn't necessarily make it bad.
