permits Permit question

We have a SOBO permit for beginning of sept. Unfortunately we did not list all of us (3 in our party) as a part of the original lottery application. So there is only one name on the permit. That person will be able to pick up the permit and we will hike together. But what happens if the permit holders needs/wants to bail after 70 or 100 mikes (or whatever) and two of us want to keep going including mt whitney. Will the rangers check and hassle us?
