UPDATE: White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders disputes that all parties agreed on excluding the border wall. Sanders says both border security and DACA were discussed at meeting.
While DACA and border security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to.

"We had a very productive meeting at the White House with the President. The discussion focused on DACA. We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that's acceptable to both sides."
Schumer and Pelosi called the dinner "productive."
