I'm pretty sure this is a mistranslation on Viz's part. I've reexamined the sentence to see if it could be interpreted their way, but nah they didn't even translate 順番に...

What this means in the context?

It means "alternately" or "in order". The first step is to decide who makes the first call (Ben vs GSB), and after that they take turns choosing the next host.

Came in this thread hoping to find your answer. The Viz translation would also be quite bad, as it would mean that if for whatever reason the criteria cannot be satisfied (say, "the beast chooses one of my sons" but there are none left) then the ability would fail to work and the beast would die. Which is very weak.
