In this line, Malcolm suggests that those who serve under a leader (in this context, possibly referring to Macbeth) do so out of obligation rather than genuine loyalty or commitment.

This reflects a broader theme of disloyalty and the emptiness of allegiance when driven by coercion rather than conviction.
