Well, if all of the souls held the same amount of DETERMINATION, then why are the other 6 humans dead? Couldn't they have altered the timeline as well??? The timeline altering only continues as long as you have the DETERMINATION to continue, but if you lose the will to continue, you would most likely lack the determination needed to SAVE, LOAD, or RESET. I say this because the word determination is literally defined as firmness of purpose; resolutness and is synonemous with willpower. DETERMINATION in Undertale would mean that if you can alter the timeline, you can only do so as long as you have the DETERMINATION, the willpower, to continue.
