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.

Do you really think that tobirama would allow that he likely would have had them assassinated for leaving the village since the sharingan was a coveted eye of not just the uchiha but the leaf village and its not like the uchiha were allowed to go on normal missions only people like itachi and shisui were likely allowed to go on non police related missions the leaf likely had a tail on every single uchiha and knew where they were at
