"nous serons quittés" or "nous serons quitté"?

Marie nous rejoindra ________ le restaurant.Marie will meet up with us when we've left the restaurant.(HINT: Use 'quitter')My answer is "quand nous serons quittés".
The key is "quand nous aurons quitté".
Why does the "quitté" not need to agree with the plural form of "nous" here?

This question relates to:French lesson "Quand/lorsque/après que/une fois que + future perfect (Le Futur Antérieur) = When/after I've done something in the future (Sequence of Tenses in French)"

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

quitter is a transitive verb (note the COD le restaurant) and therefore uses avoir as auxiliary verb. Nous is the subject (and not the COD) so you don't match quitté to it.

Marie nous rejoindra quand nous aurons quitté le restaurant.
