You can do either, using a 1x4 as a nailer (or screw board) or by adding a stud. However the using the 1x4 would leave some flexibility in the joint which will make it crack later. So adding a stud is the best thing.

A good carpenter adds a stud. Otherwise it'll come back and bite you later.

Get a piece of 1 by 2 or three, screw it on one side of the joint and then screw the other side on, it will work, no big deal.

Cut a piece of wood (6" 2x4), place it behind one of the drywall pieces, and screw the drywall to it (with the wood behind the drywall). Do this in whatever places you want to secure the other piece of drywall. When you have enough 2x4 pieces in place that it will support the other piece of drywall, insert the other piece of drywall and screw it to the 2x4 pieces.
