Probably. But if you're doing that, don't call it a party skill

points in negotiation to get the deal, before talks fall apart), but
you've lost the 'party participates' element.

I guess it's a matter of how much you want to compress the event.

It's not about compressing the event or abstracting the scene, it's
about resolving a single task that is being undertaken by multiple
characters. The 3.x rules for Aiding Another were essentially the
same thing, but these rules have a bit more depth, detail and
flexibility.
