Jakob's immediate refusal to let Add even leave the cockpit isn't completely unexpected, but there is one major flaw in this plan of his. Add raises an eyebrow.
"So... you don't want me to teleport us out?" The mech has no power, Jakob. How are you getting the door open? God teleportation is either both or neither, he can't only send Jakob out without bringing himself along. "I suppose I could try opening a portal instead, but..."
If he even can, but Jakob probably doesn't realize that yet. His body may be better adapted to spatiotemporal manipulation now, but Add still needs assistance from Dynamo to keep it (and himself) stable. So if he tried to make a portal right now, on his own, after already being exhausted from this whole ordeal, the results might not be pretty. Either the portal collapses, or his body collapses. So, really, their options are for Add to come along and possibly fuck up the negotiations, or for Jakob to go alone to deal with it, which may also result in Jakob getting stuck in the void and/or Add exploding into spatiotemporal dust for awhile.
"... Hmm. As much as I dislike dealing with the Heavens personally, I don't think faking my death is the answer this time. But if you really want to handle this alone, I suppose I could try." Is he going to leave this up to Jakob without giving him the full context? Yes. Yes he is. Pick your poison carefully, Jakob.
