He had this speech because it's the 100% normal thing to do. He goes up there and he makes the case for the thing to the people.
If he's going to actually do something, he doesn't need to go up there and talk to the people, he can just do it.

And there was no consensus here that he was going to do anything besides make a persuasion speech, because a persuasion speech was called for.
