Keep the leaves in the water until you wrap the zongzi. I've not heard of using lye solution to soak the leaves.However lye solution is used in soaking the glutinous rice when making a special type of zongzi. In Chinese it is called 鹼水粽子 or lye dumplings.

What's the purpose of that? Did you buy dried bamboo leaves? What was the preparation to the leaves before filling them?
