Hi Penny, perhaps 'meaningful'? Or 'serious'.

@PennyChan,

Although there are many phrases which one could construct, i'd say that, no, there is no stock phrase which means the opposite of empty talk.

@PennyChan,

Empty talk means that someone's words do not match their actions, so you are looking for something that expresses a parallel between word and deed.

discourse and babble would probably be the closest one-word description of what you are looking for.
