Just hold the rope! Are they serious or is that a boating joke for beginners?

Yes they are serious. Sometimes they have a pipe or cable, but usually you find lines spaced along the lock wall every 8-10 feet. You hold the lines to keep the boat close to the wall. You pull the line in if you are going up and let it slide through your hands if going down.
Some are a little slimy, so a pair of gloves are a good idea (but at least the slime limits the risk of blisters).
