Past tense but tomorrow

This morning I think they will be leaving us tomorrow.

However, this afternoon my mother tell me they are going to stay with us for 3 more days.

Tonight, what should I say?

1. I thought they would be leaving us tomorrow, but it seems they will not leave for the present.

2. I thought they will be leaving us tomorrow, but it seems they will not leave for the present.

In this case, tomorrow is not yet coming. So should I use "will"?

what is the correct answer?

Definitely "would"... i would use "will be leaving" in for example:



"I will be leaving work early, as I have an important appointment at 4."
