According to idioms.com the meaning of 'take one for the team' is 'to sacrifice one's own welfare or interests in favor of others'.
A: I have a really bad headache.
B: OK, you can all go home, and I’ll work late. I’m going to take one for the team.
Does there have to more than one person when using this idiom? I'm not sure about the example above since when B is says 'team' he only means A (one person).
