sit through
Attend until finished
To sit through something is to remain seated for the duration of an event, especially one that's tedious or unpleasant: We sat through three hours of speeches.
The phrase implies endurance—you wouldn't sit through something you're enjoying.
I had to sit through the whole meeting even though it didn't concern me.
