Can 集合 be used to refer to a meeting between 2 people only?


Not a lot of context is necessary I think, just this line a person said to
their friend: じゃあ、今からいつもの場所に集合ね

I'm not sure if this 集合 implies a group gathering between friends (more than
2) or if it can also just refers to the 2 of them. I usually see 場所集合 used
when talking about groups of people so I'm not sure.

thanks




I'd say I won't find it odd if 集合 is used when (only) two people gather.
Actually, as I searched my inbox, I found myself saying
「集合はどこにしましょう」，「現地集合でいいですか」 etc. to some friends of mine when I was going to
meet one friend, not more. 集合, rather than 会う meet, is useful when we meet
somewhere and then go elsewhere together.

I might not be the majority, but I'd like to imagine that the majority of the
native speakers will feel confortable with using "現地集合" at least, when only
two people are meeting.

As @DXV says, 待ち合わせ is another word that can convey the similar meaning.
