They didn’t at first. At first, they had just been banished, and were expecting a human attack. This is PROVEN by Monster History, Part 1-“Trapped behind the barrier and fearful of further human attacks, we retreated.“

They thought humans would kill them. Eventually, though the fear subsided. Decades passed, with no humans falling. So, eventually, they came to the conclusion that humans just won’t come at all. Fearing the humans no longer, they moved out of their old city, HOME.. Asgore led the expedition, while Toriel and Asriel stayed behind-After all, as we both said in our discussion, you can’t just move everyone out at first without ensuring there’s a safe passage! And we can’t have all the monsters who stay behind in the Ruins be leaderless, right? So, Toriel stays behind with Asriel, the heir to the throne. More and more leave the Ruins, until eventually, it’s just Toriel, Asriel, and around 30 monsters who were just going to stay in the Ruins forever. Froggits, Whimsums, Loox.. Those guys.

Soon, a human DID fall. Chara was their name, and Asriel heard their pain. They helped Chara up, brought them to Toriel.. Who then, after Chara made a drawing, finally set off on the expedition. To New Home.
