The Bethe ansatz equation is solved to obtain analytically the leading finite-size correction of the spectra of the asymmetric XXZ chain and the accompanying isotropic 6-vertex model near the antiferromagnetic phase boundary at zero vertical field. The energy gaps scale with size $N$ as $N^{-1/2}$ and its amplitudes are obtained in terms of level-dependent scaling functions. Exactly on the phase boundary, the amplitudes are proportional to a sum of square-root of integers and an anomaly term. By summing over all low-lying levels, the partition functions are obtained explicitly. Similar analysis is performed also at the phase boundary of zero horizontal field in which case the energy gaps scale as $N^{-2}$. The partition functions for this case are found to be that of a nonrelativistic free fermion system. From symmetry of the lattice model under $\pi /2$ rotation, several identities between the partition functions are found. The $N^{-1/2}$ scaling at zero vertical field is interpreted as a feature arising from viewing the Pokrovsky-Talapov transition with the space and time coordinates interchanged.
