"In the line of" might refer to some subject the speaker has in mind. Possibly. More context would almost surely be helpful.

"In the line of promotion" or "in line to be promoted" means that the person in question will be considered when there is an opening for a promotion.

In the line of duty means that someone did something, usually exceptional or different, as part of their work- police can get killed in the line of duty, when they are trying to help.
