Words meanings summery:

• ततः (tataḥ) - then, thereafter

• प्रवर्त्यताम् (pravartyatām) - let it be performed/commenced

• यज्ञः (yajñaḥ) - sacrifice, ritual

• सर्वे (sarve) - all

• समधितिष्ठते (samadhitiṣṭhate) - Grammatically, this is 3rd singular. However, given 'sarve' (nominative plural) and the context of multiple sages, it is interpreted as 'let them oversee it'. (he/it presides over, he/it oversees)
