English term or phrase: stand strong
Context: about the Maori culture
About a house in Bastion Point, Auckland, and the Maori protest to keep their land.

Sentence:
"This was a place where people could **stand strong** together and prepare for the challenges that lay ahead."

I am struggling to find an elegant way to translate this.
Thank you for your help!
