I think that Adam and his two buddies made it abundantly clear to the old man that either he step down voluntarily or they would 'retire' him with extreme prejudice 'for the good of our people'.

I think he realised that a peaceful transition of power might be the only way to avoid a civil war between his followers and the radicals and, in any case, that most of the younger membership supported Adam and his two allies' viewpoint. Like it or not, the armed struggle was going to be the future, at least for this generation.
