What does "make the first stand" mean?

These days I’m listening to the song “Hold Me” sung by Savage Garden. In the lyrics, I noticed a phrase that I don’t understand—”make the first stand” as in the sentence “I might need you to make the first stand, because tonight I’m finding it hard to be your man.” in the chorus of this song.

If anybody knows the meaning of the phrase, please let me know. I offer you my sincere gratitude. Thank you!
