There may not be a drain plug for the transmission. In that case, you will have to 'drop' the whole pan. You may want to do one corner first, to let it drain a bit and then bring the whole pan down. Don't forget to use or make a new gasket when replacing the transmission pan.
You have to remove the pan to drain the fluid.
