It is not a reply. They did not say anything to Jesus to which He replied.
It is a response to their fear, and the literal response makes perfect sense in the context of the Gospel of John. The response is “I AM!”

The response is “I AM!” But "I AM" doesn't exist anywhere in the Bible as a title, except apaprenlty in English Bibles. The ego eimi/eimi ego is never a title in Greek.

Whether reply or respond is a bagatelle, respond will do if it makes you happy. But there truly is no justification for trying to turn “ego eimi” into a title or name in this Scripture. None. Zero.
