At first, they say nothing. The poet/narrator excuses them, saying that they kept silent out of courtesy. In reality, it would seem they were all afraid.
The Green Knight knows this, and he mocks their cowardice. This prompts King Arthur to accept the challenge himself. Sir Gawain stops the king, however, saying that it would be better for him to die than the king.
The other knights begin speaking at this point, saying that Sir Gawain is right, and very brave. After that King Authur accepted the challenge and the green knight died.
When the Green Knight presents his challenge, King Arthur's knights are terrified. They sit there "still, now/All who followed Arthur, noble/And knave" (301-303). None of them accept its challenge because they know it is a death sentence. When Arthur rises to take the blow, though, Gawain is spurred into action out or loyalty for his kind and a desire that he die in Arthur's place.
