As Kevin already pointed out, use command substitution.
numlines=$( mount | grep tftpboot | wc | cut -c 5-8 )
In this particular case, you can shorten the pipeline.
numlines=$( mount | grep -c tftpboot )
You might even be able to just get the data directly from proc.
numlines=$( grep -c tftpboot /proc/mounts )
