go along

Agree and comply

Go along means to move forward or proceed, often with others: We'll go along with the group.

More commonly, it means to agree or cooperate: She decided to go along with the plan, He just goes along to get along.

This sense often implies passive acceptance rather than enthusiastic endorsement—going along because it's easier than resisting.
