You may be a little confused in terminology here.

If it was a Direct join there would be no need to turn as you passed the fix.
I don't think it's him whose confused by the terminology.

Sector 1 or Parallel join = over the fix, continue outbound on the inbound course and at the approriate time/distance, turn towards the holding side and keep the turn going to establish on the inbound course.

Sector 2 or Offset join = turn over the fix, towards the holding side, by 30 degs and then turn back towards the fix at the appropriate time/distance to establish on inbound track.

Sector 3 or DIRECT join = turn over the fix, directly onto the outbound course.
