[also even at 2x that's a pretty tiny army to conquer the north. Danny horsey scene alone felt like it had that many dudes]
they were sellswords so they wouldn't have gone over to the Boltons. presumably they are chilling somewhere.
it was confusing how Roose made it a point to say that they didn't have a ton of men a few episodes ago, and now boom they have at least as many as Stannis had
note that part of Stannis's play is to win the North and then move some guys over to his army that had been fighting him
