He's afraid that when Beatty questions him, he'll give away the fact that not only has he been reading books, but he is starting think for himself and enjoys reading the books. Faber promises to be with him and talk him through the confrontation with Beatty. Montag must trust that Faber will help him talk to Beatty, and that Faber will let him think for himself rather than just telling him what to do and what to think.
