It depends. If the forked coins you're claiming are consolidated on ONE address (or 2 at most), then you can consider sending the BTC to another wallet address generated by the same seed. This way you'll just import the private key(s) of the address [es] with the funds and can continue re-using your seed without reusing your old addresses.
If they aren't consolidated in one address, but are spread in several, then importing the private keys one after the other might be a chore and so you'd have to import the seed itself so the wallet can calculate all the addresses where the funds are stored. In this case as the seed is now considered compromised it's better to generate a new seed and send the funds to the address there.
In both scenarios however,, It's better to err on the side of caution and send the funds to a different seed-generated address entirely and consider the old one compromised.
