Congratulations. Not only did you score a small victory in getting him to approve fencing, but you also got a tacit endorsement of a potential "your side" vs "their side" scenario. The fact that you were polite about it, and that he concurred (I'm assuming that he didn't even flinch) gives you leverage.
Not that you need to use it, mind you, but this kind of support is a good thing to have in your hip pocket.
