Two rabbis were discussing resurrection of the dead.
"Suppose that during the resurrection only the rabbis will rise? Where will they find their congregants?"
The other answered, "A rabbi who cannot raise his congregation with him does not deserve to get up." -Rabbi Nathan Zelizer
This is demonstrated by Pirkay Avot where we read, "If one leads others to a life of righteousness, his sins will be forgiven." (5:20)
