I didnt get it either, but ths is what she said-
In order to keep eternal life, you couldnt cross the seal. You had to stay there with the knight. Then I said I thought that only applied to the cup, and her point was that since the cup crossed the seal, those
that had just drank from it lost eternal life.

This is correct. Drinking from the Grail saved Indy's dad's life, but any immortality was rendered null and void when Elsa took the Grail across the seal.
