C:\WIndows\System32\sysprep is the folder that you will learn to use with any MS tutorials and that is where the exe lives so it is logical to place it there. In reality it can be anyplace that the exe can find to process it. You just need to put the path in the command call switch /unattend: if it is not in the sysprep folder.

Really anywhere, although the default is C:\Windows\system32\sysprep. If it's a custom location, you need to point to it in your sysprep command.
For example,
sysprep /generalize /oobe /unatttend:C:\path\to\unattend\filename.xml /shutdown
would execute sysprep, generalize the hardware for agnostic deployment, boot to out-of-box experience welcome screen, using a custom path unattend file, and shutdown the machine, ready to capture.
