Returning from the initial call to main() is equivalent to calling
exit().  (The process is not killed; it terminates normally. Well,
"normally" as far as its parent can tell. I don't mean to imply that
exiting while other threads are running is a normal thing to do.)

You can call pthread_exit() instead of returning from main(), and
then the process will continue running until all of the other
threads have terminated.
