How to move multiple layers in the sequencer?

The title says it all. For some reason when I ctrl+a my layers in the sequencer, I cannot move all of them. Whether I click, shift+click, ctrl+click or anything else, only 1 layer is selected when I try to drag multiple layers to a different point in time in the sequencer. How would I go about moving multiple layers in time along the sequencer? It seems so incredibly elementary, but for some reason I cannot figure it out.
