If we say that the greeting of the mosque is obligatory, why does the imam on Friday not pray as soon as he enters the mosque for the sermon?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : We mentioned the answer to it. Did we not mention the answer?
The student: We did not mention it.

The Shaykh : We said that this sermon is attached to the prayer and precedes the prayer, and the sitting between the two sermons is brief. Yes, that is correct.
