Macbeth

In act 3 of Macbeth, why does Macbeth wait until the very end of his discussion with the murderers to mention fleance? Why is fleance's death so important to macbeth's plan?

I couldn't tell you what scene it is, but it's when Macbeth is telling the murderers to kill banquo.

If Fleance lives, then the prophecy of Banquo's children ruling in the kingdom could still come true.
