What is the var dump of $_POST['opt_meta_author'])? if it is an array, convert it in string using implode and save the string in database

$opt_meta_author = unserialize(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'opt_meta_author', true));

<select name="opt_meta_author" id="opt_meta_author" multiple="multiple">
                <?php
                    $auth_args = array(
                        'post_type' => 'author',
                        'orderby' => 'title',
                        'order' => 'ASC'
                    );
                $authors = new WP_Query($auth_args);

                while($authors->have_posts()) :
                    $authors->the_post();
            ?>
                    <option value="<?php echo the_title() ?>">
                        <?php echo the_title() ?>
                    </option>
            <?php
                endwhile;
            ?>
            </select>



To get multiple selected value while storing do this:

$opt_meta_author = serialize($_POST['opt_meta_author']);
