fall in line

English to Portuguese Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Qual a tradução de " fall in line", como no texto abaixo?


State Senator STEVEN AMICK I haven't heard any adequate explanation of that, except these gentlemen are so out of touch with reality they thought that by just declaring that there was a coup, that everyone would fall in line. The leaders in the Soviet Union don't spend much time with their own people and they don't know what's happening in that country, and I think that's a partial explanation, although I haven't really heard an adequate one.

Algo como:
