Welcome.

Premising all you did was unthread the truss rod nut, you should be able to screw it right back in the same way. Of course, you would have to leave room when inserting the allen wrench for the truss rod's threads to latch onto the nut.

If there is a piece of threaded metal in the truss rod nut, then you snapped the rod. In this case, your cheapest way out would be a new neck.

If the thread is stripped and it's not just the nut thats unscrewed

A replacement neck would probably be cheaper.
