There is nothing in the Constitution which forbids the secession of states, so this argument of yours is irrelevant.
If you want to make that argument, the flipside to that coin is that there's nothing in the Constitution that says that the Federal Government can't wage a war to return the seceeding states back to the Union.

Where does the Constitution explicity grant the Federal Governemnt the power to do such a thing? Remember that the FG is only granted powers that are explicity given it by the Constitution, and nothing more.
