This clue could be a double definition.

'they' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'orders from anybody' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'take' is the link.
