....something of which/ what you disapprove.

"If you know the crowd is planning something of which/ what you disapprove, have the courage to bow out gracefully."

My grammar book says that which should be in the sentence because there is an antecedent 'something'. However I think 'something' is not an antecedent and there should be 'what' instead.

Which should be in the above sentence between 'which' and 'what'?
