When you buy a figure 8 noseband, what is the other piece that you will have to purchase to hold the bit called?

There is no other piece. The figure 8 is the whole thing.

If you're just buying the noseband, then you'll still need a headstall/crown piece, browband, cheek pieces (they hold the bit).
