Probably "continue this conversation".
Great. I have to stop now, I have a meeting in 5. Let's pick this up again, next week. See you Monday.
Possibly, "continue this conversation with a faster tempo".
As in "pick up the pace"
Great. That's enough for now. Today has made good progress, but we need to go a bit faster to be done on time. Let's pick it up a bit next meeting.

Continue with the topic, or theme from where we left off at our next meeting/lesson/etc.
Imagine a book that you put a bookmark in, so you can return to the (roughly) same place.

Let's pick this up where we left off. - continue from the current point. Make progress later.
