Not the starters, necessarily, but the 10 players who were on the court at the time the horn sounded should remain on the court so you're able to differentiate between players and bench personnel.
It's not halftime, after all, until the FTs and all related activity have ended.
The distinction is key as it relates to potential technical fouls and how the head coach may be impacted.
