Answer

hold back means prevent something from moving or making progress... so in this content (the core has the power to stop a star from collapsing (falling down) until that star has no more fuel... think of it as equipment and all of the nuts and bolts are weak and old, eventually that equipment will break... maybe the same thing happens with a star.
