Does such an expression exist:
I attend to agree with the opponents.
 
Where did you encounter this sentence, Angelene?
 
Where did you encounter this sentence, Angelene?



Someone was trying to convince me that he had found such a sentence. Where? I don't know. Probably, he totally mixed it up.
I wanted to make sure even though I doubted it was correct.
 
I intend to agree with the opponents could also work if someone is discussing their plan before a meeting, for example.
 
I pretend to agree with the opponents, would work if the person is a strategic player.
I portend to agree with the opponents is OK if the person is a seer.
I extend my agreement to the opponents, if the person is easily swayed.
I contend my agreement with the opponents, if the person has changed her mind and has to convince her colleague.
I subtend my agreement with opponents, if she wants to quantify the limits of her agreement.

But I still think it should be 'tend'.
 
It turned out that this person was listening to some audio tips on writing and wrote down 'attend' instead of 'tend' :)
