I'm fairly sure that their reasoning was that if something started to happen, they wanted to limit it to a fairly contained group of people, and prevent others from joining in. And at the end at least one group did break off on an inpromptu march to Times Square. While hundreds did that, a substantial fraction of the protest (several blocks that I saw - dunno how many thousand that is) were still in holding pens. I bet that they would have had a much bigger impromptu march were it not for those holding pens...
