I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'continue' is the first definition.
(I know that hold on is a more specific form of continue)

'wait a bit' is the second definition.
'hold on' can be an answer for 'wait' (hold on can mean to wait). I'm not certain of the 'a bit' bit.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hold on that I've seen before include "Cling to or informally stop a mo'" , "Cling to - or stop right there" , "Informally, just a mo', or don't let go" , "Retain grasp, and don't ring off" , "Wait a moment - cling firmly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
