Japanese term or phrase: しばらく張り付きます

The guy was saying that he will be flying out tomorrow. But if anything comes up, we can contact him on his cell.

I am just not sure how to translate this phrase.

Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you.

I will be there until the goal is accomplished.

Explanation:
Situation is like say some supplier is having a trouble and cannot send parts out or something. So this person is visiting the supplier and will be staying there until the part is shipped out.
So that means "I am not getting the answer I want, so I will be at their site until what I need is produced."

I'll be alert for a while

Explanation:
I think it means that he will stay close to his phone for a while just in case you need him. (In other words, he will check more frequently and make sure he is near the phone so he can hear it ring, etc.)
(Literally I think it is: "I will keep glued (to my phone) for a while")
