I tried to find the specific rule on this but no luck.

Your partner is confusing the restrictions on the defender with the restrictions on the thrower. The thrower can step on the line, hold the ball over the line, wave their hand over the line, etc...those restrictions about "breaking the plane" apply to the defense.
