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