What happens if you sell a stock but don't withdraw money?

I sold some stocks recently but I haven't withdrawn the money from my brokerage account. I'm wondering what would happen to the funds if I leave them there. Will they automatically be reinvested or will they just sit in my account? What happens if you sell a stock but don't withdraw money?

For instance, if you use the proceeds to purchase another stock, it doesn't alter your tax responsibility.

The withdrawal of funds from your account after selling the stock also doesn't impact your tax liability.
