Whether confidential task or not; disclosing to others may or may not be advisable!

If Top Management relies on me that am capable of accomplishing the task within the timeframe; why should i ask others to involve in it in the first place?

Take it lightly. Make your mind free make your plan and do your best by not thinking of the end result.

Look if the intention of the management is to trouble you you will get this type of situation regularly.

If it is because of trust then you will have good time soon.
