let it go with that is correct....... The intention of the speaker is to permit something......in this context 'with' is best suited

Thanks, Anon. Could you give an example of what you mean? Emotion: geeked (I believe I can imagine the usage.)

Hi:

1) Let it go at that

2) So be it.

Are these idiom the same meaning?

thanks

Not quite.

"So be it"  implies reluctant agreement, while "let it go at that" lacks agreement.

They could be used in the same situation and have the same result. I don't think we should say they have exactly the same meaning.
