If you've been given taxi clearance by GMC then you'll have an unrestricted route to that holding point unless otherwise stated by GMC.
The text in bold for me is there because ATC will issue instructions to prevent collisions on the manoeuvring area but it is also the responsibility of the commander of the aircraft to prevent collisions. Thus if you are unsure of another aircraft or vehicles positioning whilst you are taxiing then query it with ATC and if an error has been made file a report.
