The goal was simple. Sandra wanted to probe Link's vigilance.
The seemingly pointless conversation with Link was actually Lanny trying to explain something, and Link indicating that there was no need for explanation.
Some things do not need to be fully explained, as long as one understands what is implied.
"Okay, I agree."

"During the meeting later, you might be challenged. Just ignore them."
Lanny's face lit up with joy. She immediately shared an intel, "The one who will be in charge of biological research with you will be Tiffany Colonna from the pure-blood family of the local West Coast."
"Hmm... Colonna?"
Link pondered to himself, quickly recalling Scott Colonna whom he'd beaten into a disabled state.
