With modifications that had been made to the time machine, they could fit up to 7, and they could avoid creating alternate timelines by locking onto the main timeline specifically. So Future Trunks and Future Gohan offer to find some with the time machine. Soon, however, a new threat is discovered, that the Z Fighters would have to recruit some help for. They would stick around and generally have a good time for a bit, with fun moments like Future Gohan being surprised that his counterpart became a scholar. One day, Future Trunks and Future Gohan would arrive in the time machine, to see how things had been going in the main timeline (for the record, this would consider Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road to be canon). In this Saga, AF begins, around 1 or 2 years after GT's conclusion.
