Generally the correct response is "yoroshiku onegai shimasu". Or "kochira koso yoroshiku onegai shimasu", if you want to get fancy. The subtext to the phrase is basically, "We're going to be dealing with each other frequently, so let's be on good terms", and saying it back indicates you feel the same way.
