All NPCs have 4 or 5 "incarnations" of themselves. The first time you recruit an NPC into your party, the game looks at your (the PC's) EXP, then chooses which incarnation of the NPC most closely matches that EXP, and assigns that incarnation to join your party. So yes, you actually can go through the game with just a skeleton crew, gain some levels, and then recuit the rest of your party, who will be higher-level without your having had to take them with you.
