It's in the interest of your interviewer to avoid any hurdles or unnecessary difficulties when onboarding the candidate they deem the most desirable or qualified. Therefore, they want to ensure you aren't restricted from working with them. Carefully review your employment contract to ensure nothing will hold you back from seizing this opportunity before accepting the interview. If there are any issues in this regard, exhibit transparency early on to see if there is any potential workaround.
