Meeting to discuss terms involved player (6)

I believe the answer is:

parley

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

'meeting' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'discuss terms involved player' is the wordplay.
'player' anagrams to 'PARLEY'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parley that I've seen before include "Discuss peace terms with the enemy" , "Dialogue between enemies" , "Negotiation between enemies" , "Speak with another" , "Colloquy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
