Exegesis
The main verb synechthesan {συνήχθησαν | synḗchthēsan}, an aorist passive indicative third person plural, conveys a collective response, and the idiomatic prepositional phrase epi to auto {ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό | epì tò autó} expresses unified gathering. In translation, the participle is rendered as a temporal-causal clause and the idiom as collective unity.
