It seems the limitation of a few hundred people is because of limited room aboard the ship.
The advanced civilization may have the ability to extract the souls out of all the people and animals on earth and then store them in a suspended form. Upon arrival to the new home planet, the advanced beings could then re-animate the souls back into appropriate bodies of energy or matter.
I guess it is good to travel light; especially at light speed!
