This was my understanding as well. Disciplined units are more resistant to morale-reducing effects & events, particularly the routing of nearby friendly units. Of course, if the routing unit(s) in question is *also* disciplined (or elite), then morale would drop as it would any normal unit.
At least, that's how it's supposed to work. Truth be told, I've never really paid enough attention to the performance of "disciplined" troops to know if this function works as designed/advertised.
