A signature line allows to request signatures from other participants. You can also add a signature line and then sign the document yourself via the added signature line. In this case, the visual representation of the digital signature is also added to the document text.
If you want both to request signatures from other signers and to sign the document yourself, first you need to add all signature lines and then sign the document.
