Being that the core 11 out of 12 stayed faithful to Jesus, I would say each of those 70 fell away 1 by 1.

They came back in verse 17:
The seventy (-two) returned rejoicing.
Important representatives of the Alexandrian and Caesarean text types read "seventy," while other important Alexandrian texts and Western readings have "seventy-two."

I don't know how to break this to you, but that entire book is nothing but a fairy tale. Please don't take this too hard, but neither those 70 men nor that jesus character ever existed.
They're fake.
