Need help with use of 'furthest along' in a sentence and its meaning
Hey there,
In one of the email conversations, my manager replied back to me saying 'although if we like abc agency, we are the furthest along with them'
The 'although + furthest along' in the same sentence is what got me confused. I strongly believe he's meaning to say that abc agency has made the most progress (among the list of agencies we reviewed and be the current favorite). But why 'although'?
These are some of the examples I can think of using 'although'.
1. Although he's borna in the US, he spent most of his lifetime in the UK.
2. Although he's taller, he couldn't make it to his high school's basketball team.
So, I'm just confused if the use of 'although' in his sentence gives a different meaning to the adverb 'furthest (along)' in there meaning 'abc agency is our least favorite currently?'
Thanks for helping me!

Just say 'my manager replied back to me'. The verb 'reply' includes the idea of 'back'.
