\bigcirc \if this were true, then should i know this secret. / i\
grant i am a woman, but withal / a woman that lord\
brutus took to wife.\\
\bigcirc \i have made strong proof of my constancy, / giving\
myself a voluntary wound / here in the thigh. can i\
bear that with patience, / and not my husbands\
secrets?\\
\bigcirc \hark, hark, one knocks. portia, go in a while,\\
\bigcirc \and by and by thy bosom shall partake / the secrets\
of my heart.\

Explanation:

This line directly states Brutus's intention to share his secrets with Portia, aligning with the conclusion that he plans to tell her his plans. The other lines either show Portia's plea for trust or a temporary diversion, not a clear intent to disclose secrets.

Answer:

"And by and by thy bosom shall partake / The secrets of my heart."
