> truth is what groups of people agreed on

I would call this "consensus" or "mainstream knowledge", or something like that.

Truth exists regardless of whether people agree on it. I suppose about some things we cannot ever claim we know "the truth", though in common speech we agree to call widely held beliefs as the truth, for simplicity's sake.
