Guru Nanak Dev Ji & Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

[Satnaam]

I have read some books which talk of Guru Jis meeting with Chaitanya, thats is very interesting. I think it was in Jagannath Puri.

Is there still a specific sect which has Chaitanya as its 'Guru'?
Do any of the Granths related to Chaitanya talk about any such meeting?

Okay so his school/sect is Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Any chief place of worship, number of followers?

I see that Sri Guru Nanak was born in 1469, and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in 1486. Guru Nanak was 15 years elder to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

If I am not mistaken Punjabi or Sikh manuscripts are silent about the script, however some Sikh scholars discovered Oriya manuscripts from the 16th and 18th century which shed lights on the meetings, so thats where we Sikhs base ourselves on too.

Here are some 'Sikh' perspectives altough I have found some errors and the description of the meeting is mostly based on oriya sources but here you go:
