He's saying he ultimately wants the second party, but that they would be weak at low levels if they have poor equipment. So he made a temporary party to start with that would be much easier to play with at low levels. He also has certain equipment he wants that temporary party to pick up for his real party, so he lets them get to level 21 where those items can be random drops. Once the temporary party has the right equipment he replaces them with the real party. Now the real party will not be weak at lower levels (I also think he is replacing the temps with level 1 chars).

I don't think he'd have to go through too much of the game with the temporary party, not sure how he plays it but Wiz 8 spawns tons of monsters non-stop, if he could get strong enough to start surviving AP monsters he could just go there for exp/drops galore.

The problem to me is that the second party will level up pretty fast and not develop their skills enough, although they will definitely have some great equipment. I don't know if it is easier to deal with a weak party at low levels or go through the temporary party process, but it's definitely something I hadn't heard of before.
