∙ 8y agoAll he says is "Then leave him out." Basically every time Cassius has an idea, Brutus says it's a bad idea and the other conspirators, like bobble-heads, nod and agree with Brutus. Cassius is prepared to go some distance to make sure that Brutus joins the conspiracy, so he keeps backing down even when Brutus is wrong, and he is clearly wrong about letting Antony live. Cassius keeps his cool, but underneath he must be frustrated by being vetoed all the time. There is a terrific irony when Brutus says that Cicero should not be made a part of the conspiracy because "he will never follow anything that other men begin." Brutus has joined a conspiracy that other men, Cassius especially, have begun, and he refuses to follow Cassius's lead, becoming as unsuitable for the conspiracy as he imagines that Cicero will be, for the very reason he wants to reject Cicero.

Thus, if Antony marched towards them, they would not be able to recruit many people on the way making their army very big and unbeatable. Also, they would be well refreshed. In the end, it was Brutus' plan that was chosen.
