Don't want to beat a dead horse here in this conversation but in Boeing speak the term is "Thrust Levers" and the Auto Throttle operates the the thrust levers as required.
Your manual may have something different because it has been tailored to your company operating philosophy and that is what you want to use in your operations. Many operators have used the verbals that sound like this "80 knots, Hold." No problem so if that is in your SOPS, simply comply and everyone will be happy.
Boeing's master FCOM, FCTM and QRH do not use the terms throttle hold. Nor do they show any call-out that uses the terms, Throttle Hold, Hold, etc., just 80 kts from the PM and Check form the PF. Your company may have something different...use it accordingly
