Selected
baseline, 'do-or-die' minimum target
Just a couple of other alternatives.
As Maynard says, 死守 means 'defend to the death,' or 'defend at all costs/no matter what,' etc...
'Do-or-die,' albeit a bit dramatic perhaps, may convey this sentiment a little more...
Without further context, I would imagine this to be an outbound call center, where calls are initiated by the CC operators (soliciting sales, charity donations, etc.). So I would guess that, once they have forecast their minimum target figures for the following month, they have to do whatever it takes to achieve their target number of calls.

Since they're talking about planning ahead, I gather that they're talking about having enough personnel on hand to ensure avoidance of breakdown.
Just guessing!
