"I think I'll go back upstairs now, if that's all right."

Teachers, in the second clause, can I use "it" instead "that"? It seems okay to me to use "it" though.

Yes, it sounds fine to me, too.

Thanks for your answer, Mister Micawber. I've come across this type of expression a lot before and I noticed that most of them used "that" in their second clause. I wonder why it is.
