The sentence’s complete verb phrase is "will most likely meet." The first option is correct.

A verb phrase is made up of a main verb alone, or a main verb plus any modal and/or auxiliary verbs. The main verb always comes last in the verb phrase.

In this particular case, the main verb which appear lasr in the verb phrase is MEET.

There exist simple and complex verbs phrases, the lastest ones include modal verbs.
