On the office people to cut the side chat and pull their team members in, otherwise the dofusses are in the office.

This sentiment is reminiscent of those sci-fi dystopia stories where to make everyone equal, the strong are constantly chained to heavy weights.

If you don't want your team members to participate, just don't invite them to the meeting. I get what you're saying, but you also need to understand that people do things and don't catch themselves. Like men talking over women in meetings. Do the ladies just need to let the big strong men pull those heavy weights? Or do the men let everyone participate. People in general need to let space fill itself and give others room to speak.
