Like in the lobby area of the sanctum all the falmer are frozen around the shrine of Auri-El. Were the spellbound upon seeing the shrine of Auri-El, the god of their ancestors? Maybe it triggered something deep within their feral minds and they stopped their attack - allowing Vrythur to freeze them in place with the frost magic his race was famed for.

Who knows, maybe the falmer saw the Arch Curate as a some sort of leader and willingly pledged themselves to him.
