Read Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar"
He was supposed to be there. All of the Caesars were supposed to be at the senate meetings
The Roman senate did not lead the opposition to Caesar's powers. It was the senate that gave Caesar his powers in the first place and seemed to be trying to outdo itself in awarding him new honors. At the time of Julius Caesar, the senate consisted of from between 600 and 900 senators. Only 30 or 60 senators (depending on your source) were in on the plot to assassinate Caesar. Those few men were the idealists who thought that they were saving the republic by their act.
Some members of the senate would be very likely to lead the opposition to Caesar because his repetitive dictatorships crippled the principle of the Roman Republic. Now the senate itself gave Caesar the dictatorships and the honors, but all the senators did not agree and were outvoted.Caesar wanted to stabilise Rome's broken system of government and stop civil war, so he established himself as dictator for 10 years, then for life. The constitution allowed a dictator for 6 months to fix things.
