A large party, part 2 Written by Line (6/5/2007 7:51 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, What did JA mean by "a large party"?, penned by Line

I just checked the text, and in ch.3 we are told:

Lady Lucas quieted [Mrs. Bennet's] fears a little by starting the idea of [Bingley] being gone to London only to get a large party for the ball; and a report soon followed, that Mr. Bingley was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly.

It was at Sir William Lucas's, where a large party were assembled. (ch.6)
