They didn't. Most members of the Roman senate were shocked and surprised at the murder of Caesar. It was only a few senators (40 -- 60, depending on your source) who were in on the plot. At the time of Caesar's rule there were close to 900 senators. You can see by the numbers, that only a few were violently against Caesar.
