Yes, you can say "go back there" instead of "go back out there", however "go back there" is less specific. To "go back there" means to go back to a place mentioned before while "go back out there" specifically means to go back outside or outside the room where someone is in. Ex: You have to go back out there and talk to them. Ex: I need to go back out there and get back to work.
