Bleeding player

3.3.7 SITUATION C: Officials discover blood on players A1 and B1 simultaneously and direct both players to leave the game. After notification by the officials, Team A chooses to call a time-out to keep A1 in the game, while Team B elects to substitute B6 for B1. RULING: B6 must enter the game prior to the official granting the time-out for Team A. A1 must be ready to play by the end of the time-out. B1 may not re-enter the game until the next opportunity to substitute after time has run off the clock.

I was under the impression that if either team calls timeout in this situation, both players may remain in the game following the timeout. So if both A1 and B1 were to remain in the game, both teams would have to use a timeout?
