You take the idea and you execute it solo. If you succeed, and they fail, it's not because you stole the idea, it's because of your execution, and you pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
If you want to smooth things over, talk to him and say you like the idea, but see things a little differently, and are going to take a shot at the concept on your own.
The chances of succeeding are extremely slim, so don't lower your odds by carrying 4 people along as dead weight as you do all the work.
