You really don't have to worry about who you take in your party and who you leave behind. I don't really want to spoil you, but you'll see what I am talking about in the very beginning of ToB.
Perhaps the only person you will want to keep in your party is your romance interest. Don't know if you can continue the romance in ToB if you don't import them with you??
