The phrase for sticking together in Spanish is permanecer juntos.

What does it mean word for word?

Literally, permanecer juntos translates to to remain together.

While permanecer juntos is the literal translation, Spanish speakers often use the phrase hacer piña to describe sticking together. It literally means 'to make a pineapple', imagining a group of people tightly packed like the scales of the fruit.
The word juntos is the root for the English word 'junction'. Both come from the Latin jungere, meaning 'to join'.
To describe sticking together in a more colloquial or 'street' way, some Spanish speakers use the verb apegarse, which literally refers to things physically sticking together with glue.
