For some reaon, I bought a new countertop at HD or Lowes, in two

I need some way to hold it in place while I glue the two main pieces

After you put the two pieces of countertop together on top of the
leveled cabinets, in addition to gluing the two halves together, you
should put a couple of cleats almost touching each other on either
side of the joint and screw them to the bottom of the countertop, and
then screw them together after applying the glue. The cleats will
ensure the countertop stays together even if the glue dries out.
