Explanation:

The Vinaya is a set of rules and regulations for monastic life. The sentence "The laws regulating their demeanour in sitting, rising, and entering when the others are assembled, are those which have been practised by all the saints since Buddha was in the world down to the present day" focuses on the rules (laws) that govern the behavior (demeanour) of monks in various activities (sitting, rising, entering when others are assembled).
