Who are they that shall go? - Though the Egyptians, about fourscore years before, wished to destroy the Hebrews, yet they found them now so profitable to the state that they were unwilling to part with them.

This site's exposition

but who are they that shall go

on Exodus 10:8-9

Pharaoh grants the words Go, serve the LORD your God and then asks for the terms, and the terms are what the rest of the chapter is fought over. Moses answers with everyone and everything, the young and the old, the sons and the daughters, the flocks and the herds, and grounds it on the request first made at 5:1, that we must hold a feast unto the LORD. The reason he gives is the service itself, which is the thread the book carries from the bondage of 1:13 and 1:14 to the order of worship in chapter 40.

proposed

Pharaoh's servants said--Many of his courtiers must have suffered serious losses from the late visitations, and the prospect of such a calamity as that which was threatened and the magnitude of which former experience enabled them to realize, led them to make a strong remonstrance with the king.
