'they' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'move you to take things to a higher plane' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
'take' could be 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take') and 'r' is located in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
