There is no guarantee that messages will arrive at the same time. Even if they will be sent together because it depends on:

• your hosting network;
• Telegram servers - there are multiple of them and 2 messages can go to different (more busy);
• User network;
• User device and app response time.

Everything together can't give you the same time, but may give almost the same time - few ms difference (50-500).
