The writer is using military terms. In war, your line is where your forces are in contact with the enemy. A basic principle in war is to go through the enemy's line at a weak spot and get behind him. The analogy does not carry over to chess very literally, but by the line, the writer means the row of pawns on the second or seventh rank, and f2 and f7 are the weak spots.

ahhh... The line is the position a segment of the army is occupying in the war.

For example : A front line is the farthest-most forward position(s) of an armed force's personnel and equipment - generally in respect of maritime or land forces. (Wiki)

But you must attack ta the weakest point.
Even when you attack the queen, it is not the strongest chess piece;
we have such a thing as 'the problem child'.The queen can also become bad like most other pieces.
And it will then decline drastically in value, since it will be forced to constant retreat
