The second one is correct.
The verb "attend" means to go to an organized event (ie. attend class, attend a meeting, attend a workshop, etc.).
The verb "attend to" means to take care of someone/something or to handle a problem (ie. attend to my aunt, attend to a personal matter, etc.).

Quinn is correct. “Attend to” a problem or issue; “attend” class or “attend” a conference.
