arrive (some place) in a body
To reach some place in a group. My whole family arrived for Christmas dinner in a body, which was a bit overwhelming! When we throw these parties, it seems like everyone arrives here in a body—there are either no guests or a packed room. Oh yeah, at 6:00 PM, everyone arrives at the restaurant in a body. My recommendation is to either make a reservation or come later.
