[Avodah] Gadol Bchachmah Ubminyan

[Rich, Joel]

The Rambam (Mamrim 2:2) explains that a later Sanhedrin is greater
bminyan (even though it's got the same number of participants in the
voting) if "minyan chachmei hador shhiskimu vkiblu hadavar sheamru bet
din hagadol vlo chalku bo".  Is this definition universally agreed to?
Does it refer to chachmei hador outside of the sanhedrin or the
discussion within? How are "chachmei hador" defined?
