There was a discussion about this on one of the other pages. Basically, we are not sure. Everyone has their own theories. Here's mine:

I think the "old man" refers to Sensei and the "skirt" could be May. Keep in mind the fact that Assassin is just an alter ego of Shadow. If in that dimension Shadow went evil and took over Lynx's order, the only people who might hinder him are his Sensei (an old man) and May (a female, hence the "skirt"). Getting rid of them would mean, like he says, that he's in complete control with nobody left to stop him.
