Nobody was being physically removed from the world and dropped into the paths during Eren's message. The paths aren't a physical location, they exist beyond time and space and anyone within them will still exist in the physical world during their time there.

Everyone receiving Eren's message was still firmly rooted in reality, they could only see the paths as a sort of daydream coexisting with the real world.
