''Off they went to look for him in the forest, and there atop a tall bael tree was their friend, sitting tight.'' What does 'there' refers to?

They went in (to) the forest. He sat tight. I think this would be an existential 'there.' Their friend is the person actually being atop the tall bael tree.
