Ok, if we omit "It" in "It sounds fine", then it should be written as "Sounds fine" or "Sound fine"?

Question

Here is a conversation in an English material.

A: You should take part in  a music club
B: Sounds fine

I am not sure "Sounds fine" is a correct writing way. I feel that it should be "Sound fine"

So "Sounds fine" or "Sound fine", which one is correct?

When you omit a subject, you do it because everybody around you can understand what is omitted based on the context. "Go home" is directed to someone in front of you and that's why you can be omitted before "go". The subject is "taking part in a music club" in the context and everybody knows it is singular. — , Oct 19 '15 at 17:16

A: You should join a music club
B: Sounds fine.

That is an abbreviation. In full we have:

A: You should join a music club.
B: That sounds fine.

or

A: You should join a music club.
B: That idea sounds fine.

Whichever way you look at it, the verb should be 3rd person singular.
