Leica CL has a 24.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Maestro II processor. On the other hand, Nikon 1 V3 has a 18.0MP 1' (13.2 x 8.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 4A processor.
Leica CL's sensor provides 6MP more than Nikon 1 V3'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 CL and 1 V3 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Leica CL and Nikon 1 V3 Cameras
As seen above, Leica CL has a 3.2x Larger sensor area than Nikon 1 V3. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
