We all knew Madara was staying, but he could have explained it better than that, not use some arsepull plot device that makes Madara seem omniscient as well as all-powerful
I agree it does make Madara now seem omniscent, because well in essence it is just like he said...He might as well be a lifeless THEREFORE UNLIMITED CHAKRA human/shinobi/Edo/Whatever you want to call him.
I don't know why people are acting so surprised, When Madara was first brought back he gave us the next 20 or so chapters. I'll start with this:

I have pointed this out on several threads before. Edo-Madara clearly KNOWS the original intentions behind Edo-Tensei/Re-Animation Jutsu. Yes we might know it as Tobirama's invention, but it doesn't mean he was the first to use such a jutsu. That Quote is plain and simple: "Of Course...The Impure World Resurrection Was Originally Intended To Be Used To Wipe The Map Clean, Along With The Caster.......We'll Be Regenerated Soon Enough." Either way one want's to look at this quote, they cannot deny 2 truths: 1 - Madara knew about Edo-Tensei before hand and (Most Importantly), 2 - Madara planned for this to happen since he was first revived.
Just to shed some light on those posters saying there is no way Madara could have known about Edo-Tensei. Itachi from the beginning had a plan and a course of action to fight Kabuto, the Edo-Tensei User. More importantly or rather the most important aspect of that is Itachi says to Sasuke before they even fight Kabuto to make sure NOT TO KILL HIM. Itachi could have learned this from who?

Orochimaru. That is the only
HIS on that page. I can sit here and make up a giant theory tying all of them together, but I have to get ready for work soon, so I will just continue on:

As we all know (and is evidence in the page above), Kabuto and/or Orochimaru beefed up Madara/Edo-Madara. Whether it was with more Hashi DNA or knowledge such as how to use THE NECESSARY SEAL to Release the Edo-Tensei Contract. Which brings me to my next point. We can look at this point from several different angles but I am going to use and tie together the 2 most logical ones. If this were "any ol' seal" I don't think ITACHI would have let himself go. He knew the Seal obviously, so this brings me back to my original point that Madara might as well have created Edo-Tensei/Summoning: Impure World Resurrection because I don't think anyone knows it quite like him. (And like I said before 99.9% of this board knew Edo-Madara wasn't just going to disappear like that but I think Kishi kind of hinted at something like this happening a long time ago so to say he "could have explained it better than that," while I do somewhat agree, I don't think this should come as such a Plot no Jutsu blow as some of the other things he has come up with recently."
It doesn't mean he necessarily told Madara anything. Madara could have simply observed the hand signal as Sasuke did in the chapter before.
Yeah, like I wrote above, there are a ton of ways Edo-Madara could have learned the seal, but where I think your statement is flawed is at the very end of the chapter. Edo-Madara (or maybe Madara at this point) comes out and says "TELL THE ONE WHO SUMMONED IT...YOU SHOULDN'T CARELESSLY USE FORBIDDEN JUTSU." So I don't think this is some ordinary hand seal/signal whatever you want to call it. I think this is something that Madara could have learned through Hashi's DNA or even the Senju themselves. Madara did EXACTLY what Itachi did with Kotoamatsukami to let himself out of Edo-Tensei + what Minato did to Tobi with the Kyuubi. For what Edo-Madara/Madara claimed to do was break the summoning contract between himself and Kabuto.
I am already rushing for work while still writing this so I apologize if I contradicted myself in anyway or wrote anything that didn't make sense. When I get home I shall take a look at this and Edit and/or answer any questions.
P.S. - One quick note: I feel a Dead Demon Consuming Seal coming in shortly or maybe at the end xd
P.P.S. - Second quick note: I forgot to add this above but:

I feel like Akatsuki with Orochimaru/Itachi/Nagato, etc... all tried multiple experiments on Madara behind Tobi's back? It might sound weird but maybe it's my procrastinating mind thinking too much when I should be at work already
