There is nothing is mail standards about it. If you want to ask anyone about anything, just do it. But CC is a separate header with just address(es). If your mail message has "attachments", it will be sent to CC addresses as well. Note, that nothing is actually "attached". "Attachment" is nothing but a "part" in a multi-part message. As the whole message is sent somewhere, it is sent as a whole.

How do I proceed this action?
How to send the attachment to all Recipients in TO(s) without sending it to CC(s)?

You cannot send attachments to selective recipients. The only way to accomplish that is to send the original attachment email to the people who need the attachment, then create a second email that doesn't have the attachment and send that to the people that don't get the attachment. The problem with this is that the two groups of people are now no longer part of the same email chain and replies to those emails will not go to everyone.
