'gather together after' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'action demob happy at last' is the wordplay.
'action' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at last' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'happy' is 'y'.
'demob' with letters rearranged gives 'embod'.
'embod'+'y'='EMBODY'
