Do I need to repitch my yeast after racking a double fermentation with fruit?

I am making a loquat (Japanese plum) ale from fruit in my tree. I did the primary fermentation 8 days ago and yesterday I racked the beer Into a secondary and added the fruit. There is a little action in the air lock, but not a ton. When I racked it there was a good portion of yeast cake on the bottom. I use a dry yeast (Nottingham English).
Suggestions?
 
I'd let it be. Let it ferment out. Ride out the secondary phase. Check reading to make sure it's stopped then bottle or keg.
 
There's plenty of yeast left still in suspension, no need for more yeast
 
+1 to what was already said. When you racked to secondary you still had plenty of yeast in suspension. Give it some time to work then check for stable gravity.
 
+1. Check to make sure your gravity is within normal limits of your suspected FG. Check it again 3 days later just to make sure fermentation has stopped so you don't have bottle bombs.
