hold the ring

hold the ring
(hold (или keep) the ring)
стоять за спиной участников конфликта, руководить борьбой, но не быть её участником

...since the Temporal Power of the Pope over Central Italy suited Austria's game, it was restored, as if the eighteenth century had come back again. Protestant England set her seal to the arrangement, for the overthrow of which she was destined forty-five years later to hold the ring as an enthusiastic assistant. (G. M. Trevelyan, ‘British History in the Nineteenth Century, 1782 - 1901’, ch. VIII) — ...восстановление власти Папы Римского над центральной Италией не мешало политической игре, которую вела Австрия, и эта власть с одобрения Англии была восстановлена, словно снова наступил XVIII век. Протестантская Англия одобрила то, с чем сорок пять лет спустя она будет изо всех сил бороться, стоя за спиной участников конфликта.
