That is an extremely odd way of phrasing it.

The energy between two bonded atoms is the bond energy, but it's not the amount of energy required to "keep them held together", it's the energy required to pull them APART.

If the atoms aren't bonded, then the force required to keep them together is a function of the distance between them (and the types of atoms they are). The usual approximation is the Lennard-Jones potential, which at the "holding them together" distance is usually described by a twelfth-degree polynomial, but I should stress again that this is an approximation.
