I tried a solution using Nosotros deberiamos... Now my question is, since a program may don't have all solutions. Is there a solution accepted and correct with deber when asking this question?
No: in the construction "deber + [infinitive]" the verb "deber" refers to obligation and/or necessity. "Shall we go together" is an invitation to action with no obligation or necessity implied.

If you were translating "should we go together", then "deber" would fit, as "should" imparts the ideas of obligation and/or necessity.
