Yeah. Core nodes will follow the new longer chain tip and knots nodes will stay on the old block waiting for someone to add to it because they think that new block is invalid.
The core nodes and the knots nodes will follow different chains.
And when 1 chain becomes 2 chains in a way where they can never merge or reconcile it is called a hard fork.
I can't tell if you are fucking with me because this is pretty basic.
