I have received a metadata rejection for my application requesting some clarification about my application

Information Needed
Your iTunes Connect settings indicate that your app serves third-party advertisements. However, we were unable to locate ads in your app. 
Please reply to this message to provide the steps for locating third-party ads in your app. When we hear back from you, we will continue the review.
***
Additionally, we have begun the review of your app but aren't able to continue because we need additional information about your app.
At your earliest opportunity, please review the following question(s) and provide as much detailed information as you can. The more information you can provide upfront, the sooner we can complete your review.

1. What features in your app require use of background location?
While your iTunes Connect Application State is displayed as Metadata Rejected, it is not necessary to upload a new binary. Once you reply to this message in the Resolution Center, we can proceed with your review.

We have replied to the store in the Resolution center, but I am now confused if I should resubmit the application to review since the button is enabled, or should I only wait after my reply. I spend few minutes trying to search for an answer but i am confused more now.for ex: http://www.brynbodayle.com/an-easy-mistake-with-itunes-connect-metadata-rejections/

Apple site mention the following: Metadata items other than your build haven’t passed review. See Viewing Resolution Center Communications. To resolve the issue, edit the metadata in iTunes Connect**(Seems that this not updated because i can't find where i should do it)**. When you’ve resolved the issue, submit the app for review again.

Could anyone who have faced a metadata rejection recently help me about this issue? or any expert help ? I don't want to wait 7 days again for review.

Ok guys,

The answer was leaving it without submitting it again. I have received now a message from the store that they received the reply and will continue the review process of the app. The current status of my app is In Review.

Hope this will help others in case someone faced such issues in the future. Regards,
