Once Bahamut appears, they reluctantly withdraw from the battlefield, sending orders for the GC regulars to cover the adventurers' retreat; ultimately, that ends up not working.
Given that the GC leadership seems to be equally afflicted with a lack of memory for the Warriors of Light (as commented upon into those remembrance ceremonies, among other times) and that no lore indicates that they mysteriously vanished for five years during the Sixth Umbral Era, I think it's safe to say that they had already left and were therefore unaffected by Louisoix's spell.
I was under the impression that everyone lost their memories of the Warriors of Light, regardless of their presence at Carteneau, as a side-affect of Louisoix's spell. This is supported considering that NO ONE remembers that the MSQ PC as having been one of the Warriors.
Spell throws Warriors of Light into the future. Everyone forgets who they were, exactly, but retain general memory of their existence and participation.
I don't see how the GC leadership leaving the battlefield or not leaving it has anything to do with the matter.
