I have left lilies untouched for years and they create large groups. Usually dividing asiatics after 3 years is required (5-6 years for orientals).
However, if you want to keep maximum number of the small babies, then dig around the stem and lift the smaller bulbs. Then replant them next spring.

Here are my first lilies poking through the soil (at the foundation where the sun keeps the soil fairly warm). The picture was taken today.
