piles in

Rushes in together

Piles in means to enter or join something in large numbers or with enthusiasm.

When people pile in, they crowd into a space or rush to participate: Everyone piled in for the group photo, Investors piled in after the stock split.

The phrase suggests eager, often disorderly movement—the opposite of orderly entry.
