Old Major, the instigator and philosophical heart of the revolution, can't take part in the revolution because he dies before it begins. That, indeed, is why he calls the meeting of the animals in the first place. He has had a dream that he considers either prophetic or inspirational and he knows that his time on Earth is coming to an end so he wants to share it.
In a way, though, he DOES take part in the rebellion. After all, it is his ideas that are providing the motivation for the other animals. I guess it depends on how you define the phrase "take part in the animals rebellion."
