If the wood underneath the glue gets wet it glues don't hold as well. You may not need to remove the flooring if it has started drying out and is kept warm and ventilated. It can recover very well if it is engineered. Fans and open windows during the warm part of the day help it dry out. A small area can be dried with a hair dryer, like behind base boards. Sometimes the shoe and base need to be removed to dry quicker. The longer the floor stays wet, the more damage that can be expected.
Some glues will take up some of the wood sub-floor when the hardwood is removed. If you have a slab sub-floor it takes a special grinder to get the glue off.
