Being there, with the said offerings (8)
I believe the answer is:
presence
'being there' is the definition.
(being present)
'said offerings' is the wordplay.
'said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'offerings' becomes 'presents' (I've seen this before).
'presents' is a homophone of 'PRESENCE'.
'with the' is the link.
(Other definitions for presence that I've seen before include "Imposing appearance" , "Physical attendance or imposing bearing" , "Bearing, comportment" , "Impressive carriage" , "Personal attendance" .)
