(A) would be the usual interpretation. (B) seems rather unlikely. There would need to be a very clear context to indicate that (A) was not meant and to answer the question "Go where?".

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is not well written. You can say "I'll go to whatever place John goes to" instead.
