The characters are young kids, like 13ish I think. The book ends with them getting lost in the sewer, and they somehow decide they have to have sex to escape. The 3 boys take turns on the 1 girl, with the sex described from the girls person. Then they leave the sewer.
Her dad is implied to want to abuse her, and she feels empowered after unbuckling one of their pants after they don’t want to do it, since she’s doing it “on her terms”. And he literally starts crying afterwards.
Understandably both the miniseries and movies ignore and skip that whole thing.
The sexual act connected childhood and adulthood. It’s another version of the glass tunnel that connects the children’s library and the adult library.
-Stephen King
The book even specified that the intent was for them to be together and unified as a group again, like they had to be for the fight. Just because they don’t spell out that their explicit intent was to escape him, doesn’t mean that isn’t the meaning.

A few notes:
They were 11
She describes it in way more detail than you’d ever want
It was supposed to be them going from innocent kids towards adulthood, so Pennywise would no longer want to eat them.
It was written towards the tail end of his over decade long alcohol and cocaine binge
