The al- here makes the noun definite, 'the' rather than 'a', and its oblique ending is forced on it by the preposition sitting just before. Definiteness frames it as a specific, already-known thing, while that case-vowel is Arabic's way of showing the preposition governs it - a job English does purely by position.
