They can stand for he/she... why not they goes?
So better option is "one goes" and not "they go"
If the gender is unspecified.
Do you agree?

Yes, "one goes" is correct English, but it's rarely used. I think "they go," when referring to one person, is mainly used to avoid using either he or she. In written English, you may see, "s/he goes."

It's one of those things which is plural grammatically, even though it has a singular meaning. Rather like trousers, scissors etc.
"Your trousers are in the wash"
not
"Your trousers is in the wash"
It's the same thing.

No "they goes" doesn't work. It's "they go" even when speaking about a single person. It's a little like Ishan in Persian no?
