"exit when able, taxi to the ramp on this frequency"

[Alex Smith]

Welcome to ____. Exit right enable. Taxi to the ramp on this frequency.

On a few occasions, when ground was offline, I've received this instruction from tower/radar/center controllers after landing.

I mostly understand how the actual runway-taxiway-ramp procedure works, but I'm not sure about the intent of remaining on that frequency.

Does this mean I'm expected to turn off, hold short, then call again to the controller for taxi a few seconds later? Or does it just mean taxiing at my discretion while still monitoring the same frequency?

This is what it means.

7110.65 2-1-17 for further reference.

In situations where the controller does not want the pilot to change frequency but the pilot is expecting or may want a frequency change, use the following phraseology.
PHRASEOLOGY−
REMAIN THIS FREQUENCY.

Appreciate it, that helps. Thanks so much!
