There is an argument between Reb Moshe and the Chasam Sofer what tefila betzibur is. According to
Reb Moshe tefila betzibur is the quiet shmone esrei davening together whereas the Chasam Sofer holds that the shaliach tzibur unites and therefore if someone comes late he should daven shmone esrei together with the shaliach tzibbur.
