Pull the power back towards idle and use the A/P pitch control(click at the top of the Pitch/Turn controller) to nose the aircraft down and use power and A/P pitch to maintain Mach.80 / 320 Kts.

You don't have to put power to idle but its recommended in order to keep your speed. Also, make sure you Altitude Hold Switch is off during decent or the Autopilot will try to go back to that altitude.
