They were still in the Holy Hall but Jilas and the others had left. They were sent to the Sacred Court, where they would be punished for their crimes.

Jilas had committed a serious crime by abusing Yggdrasil and by destroying the Holy Hall. This was already enough for him to receive a harsh punishment, and the way he treated Nial only made matters worse for him. He had attacked someone much weaker than himself without any actual reason, at that.
