It is a kind of "passive voice", and you should use "passive voice" here.
"A meeting" can only be held by someone.Therefore it (the meeting) can not be the subject of the word "hold".

The past participle "held" is used in this context as the equivalent to "done".
"Hold on" means "wait" or literally "hold something".
