I'd like to get together

Is the following sentence okay?

I'd like to get together on Saturday.

Doesn't the word "together" require a plural object/subject?

The expression is correct and quite common. I suppose you might say that "for us" is understood, or ellipsed. ) I'd like to get my act together.
