I believe the answer is:

tutti

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'everyone must join in' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'taunt stoic regularly?' is the wordplay.
'regularly?' indicates alternate letters (I've seen 'regularly' mean this (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.)).
'taunt'+'stoic'='tauntstoic'
The alternating letters of 'tauntstoic' are 'TUTTI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tutti that I've seen before include "Musical instruction for all instruments to play" , "(Musically) performed by all instruments" , "All (stage direction)" , "All performers (mus.)" , "(Musically) all play together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
