táctica de asentir


Explanation:
If you look in the RAE, the verb asentir fits exactly in the definition. On top of that, it looks similar to "assent", which is not bad, although not essential. The RAE definition follows

1. intr. Admitir como cierto o conveniente lo que otra persona ha afirmado o propuesto antes.
