Brutus doesn't want him in the conspiracy; he says Cicero will never follow anything he doesn't start. It doesn't help Cicero; he dies anyway.

Mark Antony means that Brutus and the rest of the conspirators have given him permission to speak at the funeral. "Under leave" is roughly the same as "by permission"

The best answer to your question would be to say a group of senators assassinated Julius Caesar. That is because we don't have all the names of all the conspirators. Different sources give or leave out different names and give a different number of men in on the conspiracy. Some of the ones we do know are Marcus and Decius Brutus, Cassius, Trebonius and Cinna.
On the contrary, it is Brutus who wants to leave Antony alive. He thought that if Caesar were dead, Antony would not be of any significance. Bad call.
Cicero left behind a very diverse array of ideas. He was known as an excellent, and easily readable writer, and had an interest in a wide variety of subjects. Because of this many texts written by Cicero remained into the Middle Ages, and his writings provide much of what is known of Roman history. Cicero also influenced many of the founding fathers of The United States of America, with his democratic philosophy. In terms of what he left behind for Rome, Cicero predicted the collapse of the Roman Republic, and the continuation of a Roman empire ran by a dictator.
