downline
Explanation:
It seems that 下线 is a literal translation of "downline" from multi-level marketing.

downline (noun): In multi-level marketing, refers to the members you have recruited or who have joined the program after you did and whose sales or referrals also generate income for you.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participant's "downline", and can provide multiple levels of compensation.
