call the shots

他們背后還有人指使。

They have other people behind them calling the shots.

不理解，請教點評

My comments:

If you have other people behind you calling the shots, you’re just doing what you are told to do. In other words, they’re the ones who make the decisions, not you.

Still in other words, they’re the ones who are in the position of power. You are not.

Calling the shots is probably an idiom borrowed from the army, where soldiers line up and aim at a target and cannot shoot before hearing for orders from their superiors. Only after hearing the order of “Fire!” do they let the bullets fly, so to speak.

And he who gives the orders of “Fire” is the one who calls the shots. And apparently he’s the one who’s in charge. The soldiers are merely obeying orders.
