Display first level taxonomy automatically

Still learning my way around WordPress and ACF, and I need some help.

I have a custom taxonomy (location) and an acf single select field (listing_priv_location) for the custom taxonomy.

Taxonomy is as follows:

Location A
— Home
— Office

Location B
— Mall
— Movie Theatre

If I select “Movie Theater”, I can get it to display correctly using the following:

<?php 
$leveltwo = get_term( get_field( 'listing_priv_location' ), 'location' );
echo $leveltwo->name;
?>

Which outputs: Movie Theatre

How can I display it such that it will automatically add the first level taxonomy:

Output: Movie Theatre, Location B

Thanks.

<?php 
$leveltwo = get_term( get_field( 'listing_priv_location' ), 'location' );
echo $leveltwo->name;
$term = get_term($leveltwo->parent, $leveltwo->taxonomy);
echo ', ',$term->name;
?>
