Need more context re the universe. To hold its own, or to hold one's own is to make a good competitive showing. If boxer A defeats Boxer B, but B continued to put up a good fight till the end, you could say that B held his own against A.

Look at the people you've helped". That is the truth, and

There are lots of truisms about truth. Truth will out!
Probably the lady referred to the positive weight or persistence or durability which truth has throughout the universe. That is, if others felt that the girl was wrong, the power of truth would ultimately overcome their negative views.
Truth cannot be defeated.
Or something like that.
