I assume that the number you see is not the number your ally sees. But which number is used in the actual performance of the whaleship?

Do you just pick the highest number and go with it?

Here's my main team:


Here's how I see your helper team:


So, you can see that a lot doesn't get counted. The number actually used is what you see, not what the team owner sees; at least as far as whaleship TP contribution goes. For actual performance...I don't know; coordinated testing would be needed, but I suspect that it's likely what you see as well.
