A colleague says: “Let’s make sure we get back on track before the meeting with head office next week“. You don’t understand what ‘back on track’ means. What do you say?

Sorry I didn’t get everything you said, we do what before the meeting?

Sorry I missed a bit, what did you want us to do before the meeting next…
