After a specific time you want to move the second layer to move with the first one, etc.

Name the first layer "leader" and apply this expression to all the other layers position property.

Here is the expression:
//applyTo: position
L = thisComp.layer("leader");
delay = 1.5;
timeToStart = 0;
myDelay = (index - L.index)*delay;
t = time - (timeToStart + myDelay);
if (t > 0){
  delta = L.transform.position.valueAtTime(t) - L.transform.position.valueAtTime(timeToStart);
  value + delta
}else{
  value
}
