Narrative:
Received a TCASII RA at 24000 ft. ATC had pointed out another aircraft at 23000 ft at our 10 O'clock position. TCASII indicated the MTR was 800 ft below our altitude, as the MTR approached got a TCASII TA followed by an RA to climb. We climbed about 400 ft above our assigned altitude and TCASII indicated no conflict. Advised ATC of our actions then continued our flight at 2400 ft.
