sitting

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

'this session' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'there will be no rises' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'be' could be 'sit' (sitting is a kind of being) and 'sit' is located in the answer.
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'tig' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
