Purge them well, seal them tight, and check on them every once in a while to make sure they dont need CO2 (they are holding pressure well).

CO2 should seep out especially if you carbonated them cool or if you Primed them and never tapped them. As stated above check them after a few weeks and if they are good they should be good for the duration. SO what happens if there is a small leak that you can't hear or find with the WATER and SOAP method? Probably nothing as unless the top falls in you should always have a blanket of CO2 in there. JUST recarbonate...
