I don't know what the context is but it just means the essentials of a thing, the core, the heart, the nature, etc. If you know what 本質 or 核心, you should be able to understand it.

さて、次の質問をさせていただきます。
「待つって、なにをさ」
「日が沈むまで待つのさ」
I only know an i-adjective can become a noun by attaching さ at the end (and drop the い off), how does it sound like when it is used as a sentence copula?

This さ has nothing to do with the adjective nominalizing さ.
It is a masculine sentence-ending particle that is close to よ in meaning but is only softer. さ is very close to だよ in nuance.
