Remember that Madara was the leader of the clan then. Not following their leader would lead to annihilation, at the very least, looking at the Warring Clans Era they were in and Madara's personality. Very true. Thing is, there were also those within the clan who didn't agree w/ the way Madara was trying to lead things but at same time agreed that the clan was being ostracized. Therefore, without starting any wars, they leave and settle down somewhere. Quite a lot of time passed between Madara's supposed death at VOE and the Uchiha discrimination post Nine-Tails' attack, maybe that's when they defected...or I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist.
