Leica M Typ 240 has a
24.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Nikon D810A has a
36.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features EXPEED 4 processor.
Nikon D810A's sensor provides 12MP more than Leica M Typ 240's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the M Typ 240 and D810A sensor size comparison.
Leica M Typ 240 and Nikon D810A have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
