011 - A也得A,不A也得A - learn spoken Chinese

this pattern indicates that something should be done in any case or sth has to be done like this.

A usually is a verb. This pattern has a tone that sth has to be done or there is no choice but to do it.

Example:

这次聚会,你去也得去,不去也得去,谁让你早早就许了这个诺。
---> You have to attend that gathering. Do not forget you have made that promise long time before.

你们都已经做了决定了才来问我,那我不是同意也得同意,不同意也得同意吗?
--->
You come to ask me after you made that decision. So I have no choice but to agree, don't I?
