You mean "We don't know THE ANSWER TO that question yet." The pronoun {'e'} does not represent anything but the previous sentence -- the WHOLE previous sentence. It doesn't represent part of the previous sentence or the answer to the previous sentence. It represents the entire previous sentence, as stated.
