To follow (side with) the majority / To go with the crowd
One must rule or act according to the decision of the majority; not to separate oneself from the community.
("Do not follow the majority to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to pervert justice by siding with the majority to do wrong." – Exodus 23:2. Also: “When a disagreement arose, they followed the majority, as it is said: ‘After the majority to incline.’” – Maimonides, Introduction to the Order of the Mishnah)
