Sure 60 were a part of the conspiracy but out of those 60 only about 20 to 22 (the accounts vary) actually did the stabbing. And the majority of the 23 stabs, like more than 10, were after Caesar was already dead. It's believed the fatal wound was one of the first. So most senators stabbed him just to claim they were a part of it

Probably less about the claim and more about making them share the blood on their hands so no one betrays the conspiracy later.
