In any venue that isn't overcrowded, my experience has been that it's easy to sit together without any saving of seats.
When you save seats you push other people into seats you have decided are less desirable. You have told them that they don't deserve the seats you are saving, even though they have followed the rules, and even though your team isn't special in any way.
If, instead, your group simply sits in the seats you want to push other people into, instead of telling those other people that they have to sit in them (in order for you to keep a seat open for someone who hasn't arrived or who is mostly elsewhere), then life is good for all.
You will have graciously not prioritized your own interests above someone else's, and you will have followed the rule.
