If the question is "Can I talk to him?" then the answer:
"Yes, one second." OR "Yes, two seconds."
Are good English and used commonly. In my experience, you will hear the reply "Yes, one second." more often.

Both are idioms for, "Give me a moment to finish what I am doing and I will honor your request."
