Socket.io on socket disconnect

I have this scenario with socket.io:

A socket connects and joins a room and he is the master. Other sockets join his room. When master disconnects I want to kick all other sockets from this room.

I thought of this:

socket.on('disconnect', function(data){
    // if socket's id == room  he is the master and kick other sockets from this 
    // room and join them to a room of their own identified by their ids.       
});

I want to do this without too much logic and for loops to stall the application. Is it possible to something like io.sockets.leave(socket.room)?

alessioalex's answer returns an error because it tries to call "leave" on an array of sockets. This is a working solution:

io.sockets.clients(socket.room).forEach(function(listener) {
    listener.leave(socket.room);
});

I am not 100% sure, but after reading Socket.IO's documentation on github I think this should work:

io.sockets.in(socket.room).leave(socket.room);
