I can maybe see Liornung because of the adventure and song possibilities, but (and of course these are all up to the writers, I'm just talking off my head) Ravion may want to stay where Mellonin is (or he may want to run). Erundil and Aeron would be likely to stay or go with Ravion, no? Taitheneb will go wherever Erebemlin goes. Ædegard will want to go home, but what of Raefindan?

It will be interesting to see who goes with Erebemlin and who wants to stay in Minas Tirith or go home. Of course, if the women disappear, it may bring them all back together, but we might have a couple of days conflict in the meantime.

Now that I've read the whole thing through:

Ædegard will follow Mellondu's lead because of Bethberry's words lending "destiny" to the whole adventure. He would be quite willing to accept Mellondu's word that the quest is over, and set off with Leafa for northern Rohan, but if Mellondu decides to go with Erebemlin, Ædegard will too.

Raefindan has come to believe that he has been brought from the future specificallyl because of the Amroth/Nimrodel story, and is determined to see it through.

I notice that Liornung is feeling homesick.

Aeron has the prophecy from Marigold that he will pierce through every illusion that holds all others back (it sure is good to have Immy back, considering that!).

Ravion and Erundil are Orual's business, of course, and there is no prophecy or promise determining their fate since Mellondu has been found.

Any other thoughts on the matter?
