The procedure for entering a Horntail run goes like this:
1) Complete the "Medicine for Transformation" quest from Moira. This will turn you into a Cornian, and also give you a Horntail ticket that expires in one day. Jump down to the lower platform on Moira's map, and the Cornian NPC there will warp you into the outer part of the cave.
2) From this outer part you can get into the inner one in one of two ways. The first is to do HTPQ, which involves getting six people and doing a short PQ. The second is going in a party led by someone who has a Certificate of the Dragon Squad, which allows him to speak to an NPC to warp the entire party directly to the inner lobby.
3) In the inner lobby is an NPC that functions much like the guy in the Entrance to Zakum Altar. First the expedition leader speaks to him and gets warped into Horntail's Cave, then each squad member can speak to him and get warped in as well. The room you're warped into is where Horntail begins to spawn, fake head first.
You "sign up", meaning get on the list of 30, only at that last point, when you are warped into the first fake head room. If the list is already full and you talk to that NPC outside, you get disconnected instead of warped in.
There is not much point getting in and not fighting HT, unless you plan to solo it later in the week. All being on the list does for you is allow you to solo. If you want to run with your friends, you must all enter together, summon and fight, before the list is full.
Hope that helps.
