*Important* EDIT 2: According to Viz only the Sage sealed it inside of him, so unfortunately the Half Juubi theory is now null.
BUT the remainder theory of the Brother's purpose for sealing techniques still stands. (Anything in blue you can ignore, so mainly just one spoiler tag)
EDIT: I fixed the Kurama scan reminding him of the Rikudo
Hello.
First I want to go back to the point where Minato was about to use the RDS on the Kyuubi.
Minato decided that he would seal half in himself and half in Naruto; aside from the Child of Prophecy reasons why you ask?
Because sealing the entire Kyuubi was physically and conceptually overall an impossible task.

(Ignore most of this spoiler tag here)
Next, the Juubi was sealed into Both Rikudo and his brother.
Now even if it was possible to seal the Juubi completely into one being, that would not be smart and the Rikudo did not want that.
Why?
His goal was to prevent the Juubi's complete awakening since that would signal the end of the world.
But he knew that the Juubi's chakra (like Kyuubi) was too massive and evil that he couldn't continue to have the Juubi be sealed as a jinchuuriki.
So he split it into the bijuu and sealed the Gedo Mazo into the moon.
BUT he only split the Juubi that was inside of him.
So in order to assure this would never happen, the Sage had half sealed into his brother as a safeguard.
The Rikudo knew that even if someone (like Madara) was able to revive the Juubi, the world would not end for the remaining half would still be kept safe.

This is where the brother's role comes in.
The brother secret purpose became:
- to help pass down the Jinchuuriki sealing technique so that the Bijuu could be controlled

)- The brother realized that keeping this a secret was impossible in a lifetime.
- So he decided he would have his descendants carry this on for him.
This is not strange considering that Naruto's tetragram seal that was based off the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques reminded Kurama of the Rikudo.

General Summary:
- Sealing the entire Juubi away permanently was impossible
- Brother had important role in helping with the Sealing techniques
- Brother made it his goal to pass down the sealing techniques (specifically Jinchuuriki)
