whole group

The entire bunch

The whole group means everyone in a particular set of people, with no one excluded.

It emphasizes completeness—not just some members, but all of them: The whole group agreed to meet at noon.

Often used when collective action or unanimous participation matters: We're waiting for the whole group before we start.
