It is literally “pull the rope”.

Probably it is an old saying from the times when boats with freight were towed along the rivers.
“Zieh Leine” was originally the command to start towing, i.e. to go.

I bet nowadays nobody says this anymore yes?

It is still common.
Probably most people are not aware anymore of the original circumstances.
