Instead, the objective of a paceline is for a group to use one another to travel faster, more efficiently, using less effort.
A paceline is not where the strongest people drop everyone. That is LATER when they attack.
When the strongest riders ride to drop people in a paceline they instead just reduce the people who already would have been dropped. They isolate themselves with the other strongest riders who are more rested than them because they are on the wheel!
Shift your mindset in pace lines to be smoother when pulling and go easier on climbs so that the group can take your faster with less energy.
