[Tartaglia presses the question, because if he were in Hijikata's shoes and he lost to someone? They are automatically considered a friend and he's going to strive to face off with them in combat again to prove his skills!]
Jean and yourself stood face to face in a duel, put everything on the line to win, and he came out on top. What better way to find a rival than to see one that's just as strong as you are, but just happened to come out on top? Do you really think it would be the same outcome if you were to fight again after becoming stronger?
