It is refering to High Hrothgar. Hrothgar is a castle, and another word for castle is a hold. High Hrothgar is on the top of the Throat of the World, and is the place where you meet the Greybeards and they teach you the Way of the Voice. To get to High Hrothgar you have to go to Ivarstead which is located on the outskirts of the Rift, but still in the Rift. People from the Rift (mostly Riften city) claim that it is located in the Rift Hold, and people in Whiterun city and Riverwood say it is in Whiterun Hold. The Grand Master of the Blades, Delphine, talks about High Hrothgar and the Greybeards several times, and always reffered to them being on thier own little mountain top. From all of this, we can conculde that High Hrothgar is is neither Whiterun or the Rift, but simply sits at the highest point in Skyrim being the neutral party of all the holds.
