Professor is asking if I'm willing to pursue a master's degree in CS. What should I answer?

Hello everyone, I finished my junior year of CS degree, and because of covid my freshmen year's second half and sophomore years I could not do Research Assistantship(RA). 

I started writing emails to my profs that taught me during my junior year about available RA positions and generally they would say no. But one of them answered yes and is asking what I'm planning to do in the future. I answered I would maybe pursue a master's degree. *Then he asked is that going to be abroad or here at my university?*  What is the answer that I should give?

Most professors aren't going to spend the time and effort on getting a new RA up to speed on a research topic if they are going to be gone in under a year.
I would recommend being upfront with whatever you really want to do, since if you do decide to go abroad, you will need a (hopefully glowing) recommendation from your professor.
