They cannot hold onto partner airline booking.
They can make the booking but the partner may take back the booking any time. There is no clear rule about this. I have seen bookings stick for weeks but also have seen some others drop after 24-72 hours.
I am afraid to say you can't have everything.
You can transfer miles. Book and issue on TK as guarantee while waiting for your waitlist which I think will only release within days of your flight. You know priority is based on seat availability on the flight, passenger priority status, and length of waitlist.
