You start a chat (muc) room and all join it.

Buddies->Join a Chat
    or
Conversation->Join a Chat

There is a specification available for a process by which one can
"upgrade" a normal conversation into a muc room but it isn't particularly
well supported and has some less than well designed parts to it.
