The number of "Taoists" is difficult to estimate, partly for definitional reasons (who counts as a Taoist?), and partly for practical ones (it is illegal for private parties to conduct surveys in China).

 The Ancient Chinese Libertarian Tradition - Mises Institute
I submit that while contemporary Taoists advocate retreat from the world as a matter of religious or ideological principle, it is very possible that Lao-tzu called for retreat not as a principle, but as the only strategy that in his despair seemed open to him.
If it was hopeless to try to disentangle society from the oppressive coils of the State, then he perhaps assumed that the proper course was to counsel withdrawal from society and the world as the only way to escape State tyranny.
That retreat from the State was a dominant Taoist objective may be seen in the views of the great Taoist Chuang-tzu (369 BC - 286 BC) who, two centuries after Lao-tzu, pushed the master's ideas of laissez faire to their logical conclusion: individualist anarchism.

It's a lot like the priest at a High Mass in the Old Rite: if you're sitting in the back of the church, you probably have no idea who the celebrant is way up front facing the altar, but you wish the Lord to be with his spirit, nonetheless.
What concerns me, though, is that such phrases seem often to be used as replacements for speaking about "the Catholic Church" or "the teaching of the Church." The living, visible, "incarnate" Church is being downplayed in favor of something more along the lines of a philosophic school.

Coming face — to- face with the Supreme Mystery, which Taoists called the “wuji”.
Zen, or Chinese “Chan” Buddhism, was originally inspired in China in the Tang Dynasty by the Taoist meditative method called “Sitting in Forgetfulness” and the Taoist focus on “hsu” or “emptiness”.
This Zen/Chan method can lay a very solid foundation for the Taoist approach to inner alchemy, which unites the jing, qi, and shen (essence, breath, & spirit) into “one” moment to moment process of transformation.
