Seat assignment has nothing to do with whether or not you have a confirmed reservation. If you are confirmed, and you don't have a seat now, you'll get a seat before boarding either way.
Those without seat assignments would be subject to an Inv Board, which then I would believe go back last to check in. VB are rare let alone an Inv. More than likely the OP will be told to go to the gate for a BP. My suggestion is to get to the airport early to ensure a seat assignment.
