[Avodah] barchu

[Rich, Joel]

According to the S"A 139:7, after the oleh "commands" the community to bless HKB"H before reading the Torah, the congregation responds "baruch hashem hamevorach l'olam vaed" and the oleh the repeats the phrase in order to be included with the congregation of blessers. Why does he wait and not utter the phrase with the congregation?
