Yes, great question.
In the LRC I met in Houston (200), Irving (100), Odessa (<100), NYC (300).
Even if you considered yourself "one with all the Christians" in the city you couldn't possibly think that you were comprehensively one with them. There were obviously many, many meetings going on in the city of genuine Christians.
So then the question becomes "Is one church in one city = all the Christians have to meet with us?" That is where the error comes in. No, all the Christians have to meet with Jesus, that is the only requirement.
If "one church one city" means that only our elders are the "authority" in the church here then that is the error.
If "one church one city" means that every other Lord's table meeting in this city is in division and sin, then that is the error.
