You don't. Have them sign a non-disclosure agreement, first. This, in itself, does not prevent someone from discussing your idea outside of your business arrangement but it does provide you with a legal recourse for their failure to comply with the agreement.
The best thing you could do is hire a patent lawyer. Like any service provider, interview and get comfortable with the lawyer first, before paying a retainer.
