Just going by what Mick and Billy have said.

Billy got a call from Mick the day after the fight asking him to join. That was the first time Billy had any involvement in being in the band or on the tour.

Yes. I never said that Billy had signed on for the tour when Lindsey was still in the band. He was the first guy they were going to ask, their first choice.

Rick then joined after Billy was already on board.

The way I heard it is that Billy got the call that Mick wanted him and Rick to join Fleetwood Mac while the two were in the studio with Roy Orbison, and Billy told Rick that night.
