I don't understand the word partying in this sentence
Is it comes from "are partying" or "who are partying"?
If it the present continuous, why doesn't "are" or "who are" is written before it?

Here, we can skip the 'whois'.

So the sentence "It's sad, isn't it? All these older guys partying way past their prime." omits who are not are in your opinion. right???
