but wherefore do you hold me here so long?
what is it that you would impart to me?
if it be aught toward the general good,
set honour in one eye and death ith other,
and i will look on both indifferently,
for let the gods so speed me as i love
the name of honour more than i fear death.

caesar

brutus supports caesars crowning as king of rome
brutus supports cassiuss plan to become king

Explanation:

Brutus expresses fear that the people might choose Caesar as king. Cassius's question "Ay, do you fear it? Then must I think you would not have it so" prompts Brutus to clearly state his stance. He says "I would not, Cassius" regarding Caesar being king, which directly shows that Cassius's question makes Brutus tell Cassius that Caesar should not be king.

Answer:

Brutus tells Cassius that Caesar should not be king.
