"Biding my time" means that I'm waiting for the most opportune moment to do something very specific.
It's also a Pink Floyd song title... :-)

Biding time = Waiting
Biding Time = To Wait
To Stay

I am waiting for the best moment to act. Example: "I am not going to ask her out until the other guys leave. I am biding my time."

It means waiting for something to happen. By saying that they mean that they are waiting for something before they do something about it. Make sense? Your sentence is correct.
