"Yeah, I'll get on throwing him a party as soon as we agree on what to do about the situation at hand."
If his tone is cuttingly sarcastic, it's only because he's at a loss for how to handle this. If it were up to him alone, he'd do nothing -- he'd already stressed to Ned, again and again, the need for discretion. He'd already made it very clear, in his opinion, that there's no reason to go telling anyone anything. But Charlie hadn't been there, and Charlie hasn't seen the surprising honesty in Ned's promise to be quiet. Of course Charlie's worried.
"We need to think about this logically. What's the worst that could happen? Give me the worst case scenario."
If he has that, he can work backwards from there, figure out how to avert it. It's too open as it is now; anything could happen, and he hates uncertainty.
