I'd have to respectfully disagree BigBuck95. The boss gobbler whas most likely the strutter. They wont sit back and just let another tom go to "their" hen. They aren't like deer. A buck or dominate buck might sit back and scope the situation out like you said, but not a love struck gobbler. He wants to get to that hen a.s.a.p and not let the other bird have the chance. Alot of times if more than one are together only the dominate bird will strut. Just this year while scouting I watched 2 longbeards, (both about 10in) in a field with 3 hens for over 2 hours. Only 1 of those birds strutted, even though the same size, I feel the second one was afraid to strut. They both knew who was the dominate bird.
