You may file only the TM-M for amendment of goods and you do not require to file the Counter Statement. However, do ensure that the opponent files a withdrawal of opposition before the Trademark office within 2 months from the service of Notice of Opposition.

Once the application for trade is accepted it will be advertised in the Trade Marks Journal . If a person objects he has to follow the procedure prescribed. The Registrar will go through his objections and hear both the parties. There is no need to delete anything and let the authorities decide.
