I thought 'line up' could mean 'to get a group of people together for a special event or purpose'

I mean to say "we have asked a group of shops and they agree to offer discounts to our clients"

That's right. You didn't miss by much. You lined up those other shops, you did not line up with them, exactly. To line up with something or someone is either to physically get in a queue with them or to conform with them.
