If the man slipped up now, we would have to abandon the plan and look for some new ways. "I can't trust a liar like you, who knows if those bastards might sail away under the cover of the night?" I know the truth, I know how they operated and hence knew that there was no lie in these words.
The night was important for one purpose, it was to keep the villagers who might be fishing or farming close by from detecting their existence.
Hence, the distance was necessary.
