My guess would be that the warriors were planning to enter the Training Corps once they were all of the right age to enter at once (entering at different times could be risky), receive top ranks, enter the Military Police, and gain easy access to the Interior to take the Coordinate from the Reiss family. Once they were all three confirmed to have top ranks, they went along with the "destroy humanity" part of the plan and went for Trost. But of course, things stopped short when they found out Eren was a shifter, meaning he might have the Coordinate after all and their search was over.

That doesn't answer all questions about the warriors and the Hometown, but it's a start. I'm sure we'll get some concrete answers once the gang starts to interrogate Reiner and Bert now that they've got them defenseless.
