What exactly did Tyrion and Cersei chat about?

In the season 7 finale, pretty much the entire cast assembles for a massive summit at the Dragonpit to discuss how to best combat the Night King and his army of the dead. Although Cersei and Daenerys initially seem to reach an understanding, Jon Snow blurts out that he’d bent the knee to Dany and derails the whole process. In a last ditch effort to salvage the peace, Tyrion meets with Cersei privately, but we’re only privy to part of their conversation. When Tyrion and Cersei emerge with an agreement, we’re left to wonder what else they talked about, if anything.

The theories run the gamut from mild to wild. On the one end, it’s theorized that Tyrion offered to betray Dany in exchange for a place back in Cersei’s good graces. On the other, some think that things are as they appear, and that Tyrion negotiated a fragile peace that Cersei goes back on without him knowing. I think the truth will probably be somewhere in the middle. We don’t think producers would cut away from the conversation if it was completely benign. But on the flip side, Tyrion completely betraying Daenerys would be a swerve of epic proportions, not to mention one that would incense the fan base.

Either way, there seems to be something Tyrion didn’t tell the rest of his homies, and we’d like to know exactly what that is before the dust settles.
