I left my house for about a week and I came back in these leaves turned brown. Should I cut them off or just wait until they fall off?

I think for most plants, cutting it before it falls off is a way of helping the plant transfer its energy to other parts of the plant faster than it would by itself. I have this plant so I would cut it off and any other leaves that may be yellowing or too far gone.
