Selected

pridať sa k zástupu básnikov

the meaning of the line is that one should become a part of the procession, aasemblage of poets. there are several meanings of the phrasal verb and the two which produce some kind of ambivalence or play of words are> 1. to make an array esp. of soldiers 2. to put in writing
I hope that will help
Example sentence:

draw up - form or arrange in order or formation, as of a body of soldiers
