The sentence contains a repetition of the phrase "stand in." The corrected version could be: "the wind gusted through the woods, while the trees continued to stand in steady attention." If you were looking for where a pause might naturally occur, it would likely be after "woods," as that marks the end of one clause and the beginning of another.
