If I withdraw £10, I get all of that £10s. Just as if troops withdraw, they don't leave some people. Or if my wife and I decide to withdraw from a conversation, one of us doesn't stay.

And yes, if I decide to withdraw all of my checking account from an ATM, I get... all of it.

"Withdraw" doesn't imply partial things. What you choose to withdraw, you withdraw.
