May I ask for the meanings of these sentences please?

Hi!

The following are the two sentences I've extracted from a discussion strategies book.

1) We agreed to differ.

2) We put that on one side for the time being.

They're from the "reporting back" section (kind of set phrases you use when reporting your group discussion results to the lecturer).

Could you please tell me what they mean?

Thank you very much for your assistance (:
