Live rock question

I just bought 30+ pounds of live rock off of someone. They had it in a tank that was about 30% full of water, which was enough to cover the rock completely to keep it alive. My question is, I'm currently waiting to get my sump filter put in on my tank and don't want to add anything to my tank until the filter is in place. I have the live rock in a bin now filled with live sand and the remaining salt water that was in the tank before... is it ok to leave like that for about 4 days or will my rock die? Please advise!

Add a power head or air tube to move the water and you should be fine.
