You don't have to get to any specific point in order to have someone join you.
The hardest part is if you all want to be the same species. Because then you have to make your avatar, export the DNA-file, and send it to your friends.
I haven't created a new avatar in a while, so I forget if there was an option to copy someone else's species without sending the DNA-file.
Then you and all your friends make your avatars and login on them. You will all be on separate planets at first, but that is easy to change.
First you might want to decide who has the prettiest or best looking starting world. Then you simply all write a chat message on any channel you can all hear (for example; Galactic), and the one that has your decided starting world will right-click each of your chat messages and select "Invite <name> to Teleport Here".

You don't actually create your empire before you handcraft a flag. Once the empire is created by one of you, the creator will again have to right-click all the chat messages from the others and invite them into the empire.
