How it's used
This term carries a formal or journalistic tone, often used in news reports to describe organized groups gathering for a specific purpose. It implies a sense of purpose or strategic coordination rather than just a casual group of friends hanging out. While it can be used in spoken Cantonese, it is much more common in written media or formal announcements.
Examples
The protesters are assembling in the square.
When will they be able to assemble so many people?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 集合, which is a more general and common term for gathering or assembling. Using 結集 in casual daily conversation can sound overly stiff or like you are reading from a news script.
