In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch meets with a group of men called the Old Sarum bunch on the evening before Tom Robinson's trial begins. These men include Mr. Link Deas, Mr. Dolphus Raymond, and Reverend Sykes. Atticus meets with them because he knows that Tom Robinson's trial may lead to tensions and potential violence in the town of Maycomb. He wants to ensure the safety of both his family and Tom Robinson, so he confronts the men and warns them about the potential consequences of their actions.
To find this answer, you can refer to Chapter 15 of the novel, specifically the scene where Atticus sits outside the Maycomb County Jail to protect Tom from the mob. In this scene, the men approach Atticus and have a conversation with him about the trial and its potential consequences. This interaction highlights Atticus's bravery and determination to stand up for what is right, even in the face of opposition.
