"Please hold" is a shorter, and grammatically correct, version of "please hold the line". This expression is frequently used during telephone conversations: either with a real person, or an automated response service. Example: "Please hold. We are trying to connect your call".
It does not make sense to use the term "quit" in this context. To "quit" means "to stop". Example: "I'm trying to quit smoking". It cannot be used to ask someone not to "hang up" the telephone or to "stay on the line".
"Wait a second" is a polite way of asking your correspondent to "hold the line", and is very useful on the telephone. Example: "Wait a second please, I'll see if she's available".
This is grammatically incorrect: the term "patient" cannot be used as a verb. It is either a noun: "The doctor sees 100 patients per day", or an adjective: "Julia is a very patient woman".
"To hang up" is to end a phone call: the opposite meaning to "please hold the line"!
