Din is Torah

The gemara in Brachos 6a asks why we need to say that if there are 3 people in din then the Shechina is there if we already said that if there are people learning then the shechina is there. The gemara answers that you might have thought that din is not Torah but it's only shalom so this teaches that it really is Torah. How does this teach that? Maybe it just teaches that shalom is very important and the Shechina rests even if there is only shalom but no Torah?

That's all very nice but it's not what the gemara is saying. The gemara says that you would have had a hava amina that din is not Torah but only shalom. The fact that it was singled out shows that it Torah and not only shalom. My question remains how does this prove that? It might just show that the shechina comes for shalom also and not just for Torah.
