Cortes left de Alvarado in charge in Tenochtitlan to deal with a potential rebellion in another part of the Aztec Empire while he went back to the coast to deal with a Spanish expedition sent by the Governor of Cuba to arrest him for insubordination. Cortes needed to secure his position and gather reinforcements to ensure the success of his conquest of the Aztec Empire.
