I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'do they advise' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'people to take to the hills?' is the wordplay.
'people' becomes 'men' (men are people).
'to take' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'to the hills?' becomes 'tors' (tor is a kind of hill).
'men'+'tors'='MENTORS'
