Their plotting a attack on the snails. Their just going over the plan & making sure everyone knows their job......LOL....:dance:
Not sure why they are gathering. BUT it is true that if the hermits are growing & want a larger shell, they will kill the larger snails..eat their guts & hijack the shell.
I always have larger empty shells in the tank, this way the hermits will hijack the empty ones first

Probably crowding a bit of food (snail). Do they have anything to eat? 15 is a pretty big table! Probably starving.

They could be getting ready to go snail tipping.
