The entire senate did not plot to kill Caesar, in fact, most were shocked at the assassination. There was group of from around 30 senators (sources vary) who plotted. The reason for their discontent was that Caesar had accumulated too much power and showed no sign of relinquishing any of it.

Why did the senate kill Caesar?

In the end it all basically comes down to one thing: Power. Yes, Caesar may have been arrogant and impatient, but the real reason for his dislike was his power. The senate was always used to the equal power of the Roman Republic among the senators, and when Caesar became Dictator, they did not like it at all. Caesar was hugely popular with the plebians and common folk, being as he had always sent his plunder in Gaul to be sent back and handed out to the citizens. He was also very popular with his troops, all of which gained tremendous respect for him during the Gallic wars. Because of all this, the Senate disliked him.
