So there was no master plan to take out Barzini as well at the same time as Michael?

That's a detail FFC no doubt didn't want to deal with. But...

Since Tessio's plan was regicide--killing the Don--secrecy would be the top priority. It'd be in his interest not to tell anyone else about it except the would-be assassins. And, to assure secrecy, they probably wouldn't have been from among Tessio's ranks. He would have recruited outside assassins. This is routine Mafia practice when Dons are whacked

Good points Turnbull No doubt secrecy would be the top priority and the outside assassins will be waiting in Brooklyn but wouldn't he have some men from his own ranks, accompany him to the [no] actual meet scheduled;” keeping up the charade
