'level' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'move slowly? that is fine at the top' is the wordplay.
'move slowly?' becomes 'inch' (to inch along is to move slowly).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'at the top' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'fine' is 'f'.
'inch'+'ie'+'f'='IN-CHIEF'
