No, Jim. He doesn't need to get up in order to go if he's already standing. The point is that there are not two actions envisaged
1. Standing up
2. Moving
Rather, there is but one: Get moving. The posture one has at the time is of no consequence.

Just different words carrying the same meaning. In point of fact, one
has to get up in order to go. Whether one "sets out" or "goes" is
simply a matter of choosing one word instead of another.
