What Antony wants from the conspirators is a vague question as such.
We could consider 3 possible answers to this question, which if taken chronologically, would go this way:
When Antony sees that Caesar is murdered by the conspirators, he wants the conspirators to kill him as well, if they wished to. He wants that the conspirators should kill him with the same weapon with which they have killed Caesar. He even beseeches (begs) them saying if they have anything against him, they should please themselves by killing him right then. He says, and I quote, "I do beseech ye, if you bear me hard. Now, whilst your purple hands do reek and smoke, fulfil your pleasure. Live a thousand years, I shall not find myself as apt to die."
Proceeding in the play, the following answer could also be regarded creditable:
After the conspirators have killed Caesar, Antony wants to know from them, the reason they have killed him, to which the conspirators remark that even if he was the son of Caesar, he would have justifiably agreed and accepted Caesar's death. He also wants from them the right to be allowed to take his body to the pulpit, and say a few words bidding farewell to his beloved friend, Caesar in the farewell ceremony.
Or if not for much marks, you can also conclude in one sentence saying Antony wants to seek revenge from the conspirators.
All of the above answers uphold the question.
