In the Find My app I chose “Erase this device” for my stolen iPhone. Why does it show “Pending”?

I had my phone stolen today. I went to “Find my” app and selected the “erase this device”. It show it is “Pending”. What does that mean?

See the following from Erase a device in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support


If your device is offline, you see Erase Pending. The remote erase begins the next time it connects to a Wi-Fi or cellular network.
