In this sentence, 時間によります means it is depended on your personal schedule.
As you know, it is kinda rude here if Person A is higher position than you in any cases.

Both 1) and 2) explains same situation but 1) is much closer to our understanding.

haha that's right, but I think I'm looking for the immediate meaning of what B says in the dialogue.

It's tricky question. Actually B means to say 1) but it also means 2), doesn't it?
