Is there a specific reply to 'con permiso' or do I just say 'de nada'?

First, mustering all the rage and fury you can, you grab the person roughly by the shoulder and, spinning him around violently, you look him in the eye and snarl, "¡Espérate! ¡Espérate!" Then, with one clenched fist and a menacing look that can only spell danger, you bark out, "Tengo que hablar contigo." Of course, if you respond this way, be sure that you are within shouting distance of at least one or two of your nefarious but loyal henchmen who are willing to do anything just to toady up to you.

Of course if you are in short supply of henchmen, you could always take the easy route and use one of the polite responses suggested by the other members....but that's entirely up to you....you know different strokes for different folks and all.

Sorry...I think that I have been watching to many telenovelas lately

Oh no wakka, that is not itwink

And that is rather rude, you don't want to say that...I am not saying not ever, jeje, but certainly not here.

"con permiso" is said when somebody is asking for permission to sit down or something.

We would probably say:

Claro, no faltaba màs.

Por supuesto, (if it was sentarse) siéntese

Do we have context here?

I would say, entering you should reply like coffeelate said, but exiting or if someone is in passing, generally you don't.

Or:

Propio.

Sigue no más.

. . ."Con permiso" is often said when you want to leave the table like "Excuse me."
