That's correct.
9.1.7 SITUATION: The official administering a free throw awarded to A1 places the ball at his/her disposal. A1, who is inside the free-throw semicircle leaves the semicircle to confer with a teammate. RULING: Violation. After the ball has been placed at the disposal of the free thrower, he/she is not permitted to leave or enter the free-throw semicircle without violating, until restrictions have ended. (9-1-7 Penalty 1)

10-1-9 TEAM TECHNICAL
A team shall not:
. . . Fail to have all players return to the court at approximately the same time following a time-out or intermission.
That's a possible call, but it might be a bit picky. Simply employing the ROP is going to cost the team a time-out or a FT attempt.
