Does the first climber do it bit by bit until those behind have a decent distance to climb? In my head they’re climbing using a rope that’s anchored 20 feet above them. If so, how does it get there?

Because this is ELI5:
It’s like save points in a video game. When you climb, you set a piece of protection gear where you are so that if you fall you start from there again.
By the end of it, all following climbers can use the former climber’s save points (the last set specifically for top roping), but this time, because the save point is above them, they never need to restart lower.
