I believe the answer is:

stand

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

'seats?' is the definition.
(stand is a kind of seats)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stand that I've seen before include "group of trees" , "Rise; bear" , "Platform; attitude" , "Be likely to rise" , "Remain unaltered, tolerate" .)
