I'd gently move them into clean, never seen soap buckets with airstones or bag them up if it's only for a short time. I try to use cups and avoid nets if possible.
If you're using all brand new water, you might want to acclimate them slowly back into their tanks.

also have a clean bucket for all your media/decorations, filters etc..you dont want anything to dry out....also putting your bagged fish into a Styrofoam container with some towels around them, stops them from swishing around as much and keeps them safe... good luck!
