Pressure brake bleeders

I saw a few old (very old) posts about pressure brake bleeders, and none of them answered the question that I have. Basically how does it work? I know that you fill the sprayer tank with clean fluid and put the cap on the master cylinder and pump it up to build pressure. What happens to the air that is in the hose between the tank and the MC? does that get introduced into the brake system, or does the fluid from the tank somehow replace the air in the hose when you build pressure in the tank?

I hope this makes sense. I'm thinking of building one of these, but I don't want to put any air into the system just to bleed the front brakes after replacing the front hoses.

Thanks.
