Follow up questions:
What do you think?
Don't you agree?
(Why) shouldn't we? (This is perhaps the closest to a tag in structure, but asks a different question than a tag does.)
eg.
We will go tomorrow, won't we?
He must leave, mustn't he?
You are kidding, aren't you?
There is no helping verb that can be naturally taken from this sentence, so you can't apply the formula of a tag question.
Let's go tomorrow, letn't we? XXX
I suppose it makes sense to follow it with an equivalent restatement of the sentence as a question. In this case, there is no negation.
Let's go tomorrow = Shall we go tomorrow?
Let's go tomorrow, shall we (go tomorrow)?
