I have made up the sentences below.
(1a) John says to me, "We have twelve people here. I am expecting more to join us for hiking." After waiting for 15 minutes, he says, "No one else is coming. Why don't we start now?"

Which one is correct: "is" or "will be"? Thank you for your help.
[is coming] or [will be coming]

The first is more idiomatic.
