The first one is correct.

The second one is not. I am afraid I do not understand it well enough to correct it. What do you mean by "is being gone to hold" ? Please try to say this another way.

I just saw CalifJim's reply. We must have been writing at the same time. I agree with his answer. Evidently he is better than I am at working these things out.

Add "by them" to what I wrote if you wish. "going to" has no passive so "to hold" changes to "to be held" instead, if that's what you're concerned about.
