If they're set to guard the commander that is told to stay behind, nobody will move.

This I wasn't sure of, so I tested it.
A commander will not stay behind his own bodyguards. With "Stay behind troops", he and his bodyguards closed to behind the rearmost other troops and when they broke and ran, moved to the front line. |
Keep in mind this can be really tricky when employing elephants and other tramplers. I like to put all my elephants on the south side and my troops/commanders to the north so that fleeing elephants don't trample my commanders. But this doesn't work if commanders with "stay behind" decide to stay behind the elephants.
This is particularly funny when an elephant in retreat is behind your lines -- and all your commanders rush to catch him and get squished
