hold tight
Don't let go
Hold tight means to grip firmly and not let go: Hold tight to the railing.
It also serves as an instruction to wait or be patient, especially when someone is about to help you: Hold tight, I'll be right back.
The phrase often carries reassurance—things may be uncertain, but staying put is the right move.
