How it's used
This phrase is essentially a way to signal that you are easygoing and happy to defer to the group's collective decision. It is very common in social settings where people are trying to avoid the burden of choosing a restaurant or activity. It carries a sense of being flexible rather than indecisive or lacking an opinion.
Examples
I'll go wherever you guys go, I'm just following the crowd.
You guys decide what to eat, I'm happy to go along with whatever.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe following a physical group of people in a literal sense, such as following a tour guide or a friend through a crowd. For physical movement, use 跟住 instead.
