Peter couldn't say he was particularly surprised to be summoned by the Death Eaters after having the Order meeting the other day. If the Order knew that the Dark Lord was not 'dead', in certain terms, then he suspected the Death Eaters knew as well.
While he didn't feel particularly inclined to go, he needed to know exactly what information the other side knew and who was going to come out on top. Being beholden to Lord Voldemort hadn't been a great time, but if the Death Eaters could promise to keep him alive then he was willing to give them another go.
