I wanted to do the planar sphere so I put Valygar in my party. As soon as he opened the sphere I kicked him out of the party. (he didn't kill anyone). Is this considered as not soloing? I don't think so I had him in my party for 1 minute and that was to open up the sphere.
Ps. I did the sphere, damn those halflings and their maze and domination spells @$#@^#! I am now a 10 kensai 14 mage and haven't even gotten the key to go to Linvail

would it be considered as Not soloing?

As far as I'm concerned it's still a valid solo as long as the character doesn't help you at all. Noone is really checking on you anyway. 
I let Nalia tag along in the shadows WAY out of the action while I went through her keep and showed her how a real thief does things. The one time she got involved at all actually made things harder since I was hiding just fine but she ended up with a troll chasing her.
