In Prophase I, the term to describe the homologus chromosomes pairing up is called "synapsis". This allows the chromosomes to come in very close contact allowing "crossing over" which increases genetic variability.

Genetic variability continues to be increased in Metaphase I when the homologous pairs of chromosomes assort independently along the metaphase plate.

In both cases chromosomes line up randomly along the metaphase plate, however, in Metaphase I, homologous pairs line up and are pulled apart decreasing the cell from a diploid to a haploid cell; and in Metaphase II sister chromatids are pulled apart decreasing the amount of DNA in each cell.

The amount of DNA is reduced. Sister chromatids are separated. This doesn't reduce the number of chromosomes, just the quantity of DNA.
