Chinese doesn't really have a real "yes". 對的 (对的) just means correct. The most straightforward yes answer to a yes/no question would probably be [verb you want to confirm]+的. So "yes" in response to "會不會" would be 會的.

不用謝!

Sorry, by the way, if I seemed rude in my initial comment. I didn't mean to, but in hindsight it could have appeared so.
