The call is "ready for departure". It's up to ATC whether they put them on the runway or not before or after this call.
I have to admit to being surprised at the number of times I'm invited to line up, knowing (and having stated) that it will take me longer to get ready for departure than it would take me between calling for a join and needing a landing clearance.
