Pattern wording

I have another question. At the section about dividing for sleeves it states k to marker,rm, slip next 48 stitches until next marker on holder (this is for sleeve) rm, cast on 4 stitches repeat once more, knit to end. So after slipping on holder am I using a new ball of yarn and am I casting on like normal or am I casting on using a backward loop for at beginning of a row. But if I am adding a new ball of yarn and casting on, I don’t see how I’d use a backwards loop, maybe a knitted cast on ( saw on Roxanne Richardson video) Then when I put second group of stitches on holder do I add yet another ball of yarn? Seemed so straight forward till I really got to looking at it?
