If you imagine a line of people — people lined up to do something — that’s exactly what this is talking about. In business and government the line is imaginary, but it works exactly the same way. For example, if ten countries are «lined up» to negotiate trade deals with Indonesia, the country that is «first in line» is the country that Indonesia will negotiate with first.
