If a POTUS federalizes the National Guard, the governor no longer commands them.

Also, let's say that Trump sends other states national guard's into the state of Illinois, the military chain of command would still apply. Meaning, that a Captain in the Tennessee National Guard still outranks a Lieutenant in the Illinois National Guard.
