Of course people rely on their stand mates, when needed.
But you should be able to hold up yourself, yes. I think it's expected of a good player. Since it was the first rehearsal, not surprising that it was difficult.
I have found over the years, and especially now, that I need to NOT depend so much on my partner in such groups - this isn't to say I'm always right nor that my peers are always wrong. It's just that sometimes in tricky pieces I have a number in my head in rests, and when I think it's time to come in, my partner is sitting there, obviously thinking that there's another measure or two before we're supposed to enter. Then the entrance passes and I realize that I really was right the first time, and I should have trusted myself. This situation has happened a lot lately (I mean over the past year, in many different groups.)
