    The men need Brutus to join their conspiracy. Brutus' name hold much weight and favor with the people in Rome. The men approach Brutus' house to see if he will join them, and if so, how the plan to assassinate Caesar will happen.

    When Brutus agrees to be a part of the plan, he immediately becomes the leader of the group, a position that may have come naturally to him, since he is their host at the time. They decide that Cicero will be left out of their plan (at Brutus' recommendation) and that Mark Antony not be touched (another recommendation of Brutus). Decius also volunteers to flatter Caesar to make sure he comes to the Capitol the next day.
