  • Similar, but not a duplicate. None of the possibilities seem to reference てく->ていく. – jtsoftware Feb 06 '21 at 23:30
  • ん？　https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/30996/9831 に、「ていく ⇒ てく（[見]{み}ていく ⇒ 見てく）」って書いてあるやん。 – Chocolate Feb 07 '21 at 12:11

「てく」is often a contracted form of 「ていく」, so your sentence means

よし、じゃあ出席を取っていくぞ

Okay, I am going to take attendance now.

where 「ていく」is a helping verb that tells you the action starts now in a forward looking manner.
