The verb 'sahira' means "to be watchful," and there are passages in the Koran which speak of the newly risen on the Day looking around watching expectantly for what will come next. The common opinion, however, is that 'as-Sahira' here is a proper noun, the name of that wide ope plain on which men will be assembled for Judgement, in which case one should translate;"there they are at as-Sahira."
