Remember the Beast??? Jack becomes a leader because he promises that he can protect them from the beast.  But the beast in the first place isn;t real and even he knows that, he just manipulates them into thinking it is real. Now think of why everyone mostly slips off to join him.  Would you want to be in a group that can't hunt and everything seems strict? or be in a group that can hunt and you can eat meat everyday, also the leader can protect you from the "beast", well of course every one woudl choose the latter group.
